Extending our reach: the next decade of GW detectors

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

The international gravitational wave community has succesfully completed a year of data taking with first generation detectors operating at design sensitivity and looks forward to a decade of upgrades. The upgrades will improve the sensitivity by approximately an order of magnitude with a thousand-fold increase in the detection rate. This talk will review the current and proposed GW detectors planned for operation by 2018.
