Revision as of 15:39, 31 March 2020
Put here all relevant material for students
To do
- Email to students with Zoom details
Guidelines
Lecture format:
- divide each lecture in 2 (or 4) topics,
- ask the students to write lecture notes of 4-6 pages of a topic in groups of 3 students,
- derivation of equations in appendix
- a template of the lecture notes for each topic will be provided.
Exam:
- lecture notes
- each group takes lecture notes on 1 (or 2) topic(s) they were not involved in, and presents this in 15 minutes to the rest of the group.
- Total number and students sub-divide?
Groups
Groups of 3 students each to work on the assignments.
- Group 1:
- Group 2:
- Group 3:
- Group 4:
Lecture 1: Intro and Power Spectral Density
The Intro should contain:
- What do we measure with an interferometer.
- Slides 6 - 12,
- Lecture Kip Thorne: https://surfdrive.surf.nl/files/index.php/s/hmCWcFxSrilUeZy
- Effect GW on test masses (mirrors)
- See this Saulson lecture, this topic is covered from about minute 45 onwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4IKvv0AqAI&list=PL04QVxpjcnjgs5aJ-BN3CRiMhJNyB1Ekr&index=4
- Saulson Chapter 2: ...
The PSD chapter should contain
- Sensitivity curves - Power Spectral Densities
- Saulson Ch4, Blandford and Thorne section 6.4 (at the end of this page),
- Lecture Kip Thorne: https://surfdrive.surf.nl/files/index.php/s/5qrbQhf3foFNh5C
