Tiny changes in Earth’s gravitational field could help predict tsunami’s size

E3: Geophysics and gravitational wave interferometric detectors, Exploratory Project, I13: Geophysics and gravitational wave interferometric detectors, Interface Project, News

For several years now, the APC Virgo Group has been involved in studying the possible synergies between geophysics and terrestrial gravitational wave detectors. Geophysical phenomena cause disturbances of “Newtonian” gravity. If these are not gravitational waves, common interests, especially on measurement techniques, bring the two communities closer together. The studies published in Nature Communications in 2016 (Montagner et al.) And […]

First detection unit of the KM3NeT/ORCA neutrino detector

E9 Low energy astrophysics with KM3NET, Exploratory Project, News, Non classé

Last week, an extensive sea operation took place to deploy several elements of the KM3NeT/ORCA detector at the KM3NeT-Fr site, about 40 km offshore from Toulon. Amongst them, the first detection unit of ORCA comprising 18 optical modules, spaced at 9 m along a 200 m high vertical neutrino detection line. The deployment and connection of the detection unit was performed with the […]
