Successful Validation of Data Transmission Systems for the Virgo Instrument
May 22, 2025
Engineers from the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) have successfully validated the data transmission systems of a new instrumented baffle developed for the Virgo gravitational-wave detector. This milestone confirms the compatibility of the system with the interferometer environment and represents a key result of IFAE’s research and development activities in gravitational-wave instrumentation, carried out by its Gravitational Waves group in close collaboration with the Technical Division.
