Description

As the agency reported it.

University of texas at brownsville center for gravitational wave astronomy this proposal seeks to expand the research portfolio of the center for gravitational wave astronomy (cgwa) to include experimental and applied physics. The cgwa has successfuly attracted more than $12 million in research grants in addition to the $6 million received from NASA for its creation. The result is a high quality, world-renowned research program that has been mainly theoretical in nature. Due to the prestige and reputation built by its core group of researchers over the past several years, the cgwa is uniquely situated to expand its research into experimental and applied physics areas. This new research, focusing on the instrumental side of gravitational wave astronomy will be smoothly integrated with the current theoretical and observational expertise of the center. This new thrust will be directed by a new team of outstanding experimentalists who have recently joined the cgwa and IT will be relevant to the lisa mission. As before the cgwa will remain tightly focused on research associated with NASA's science mission directorate. In particular the research in phenomenological astrophysics, source modeling and data analysis will continue to be developed in association with the laser interferometer space antenna (lisa) and other missions which may complement gravitational wave observations. The addition of an experimental program in lasers and optics will allow the center to address instrumental needs for lisa as well as other science mission directorate missions.
