On going TRD Projects
- Squeezed light technology
- Improved Mirror coating
- Advanced Optics & Laser technology
- Mitigation Newtonian Gravity noise
- Wind loading noise on LIGO-India building structure
A joint IISER-IUCAA center called CGPA (Centre for Gravitational Physics and Astronomy)
The primary goals of the Centre:
- Create a collaborative research and teaching activity that includes researchers from both institutes,
- Expose talented young researchers to exciting scientific challenges in the area of Gravitational Physics and Astronomy
- Development of human resources for research in the relevant areas.
Laboratory space ~600 SFT: 90% construction complete
