9:00 AM Searching for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background with Terrestrial Detectors
Searching for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background with Terrestrial Detectors
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Prof. Vuk Mandic, University of Minnesota Topic: Detection of GW of cosmological origin using terrestrial detectors Title: Searching for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background with Terrestrial Detectors Date: October 12, 09:00 am Abstract: Stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) arises as a superposition of many uncorrelated gravitational wave sources. It could be of either cosmological or astrophysical origin, and therefore it could carry unique information about the very early universe and about its evolution. The upcoming observing runs of terrestrial gravitational wave detectors are expected to detect the stochastic background due to unresolvable compact binary mergers. I will review the most recent results of SGWB searches and I will highlight some of the challenges that are facing the field in the coming years.

4:30 PM The search for cosmological phase transitions through their gravitational wave signals
The search for cosmological phase transitions through their gravitational wave signals
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Room: Online Marek Lewicki, University of Warsaw Topic: GW from First Order Phase Transitions Title: The search for cosmological phase transitions through their gravitational wave signals Date: November 16, 16:30 pm Abstract: We are currently witnessing the dawn of a new era in astrophysics and cosmology, started by the LIGO/Virgo observations of Gravitational Waves (GWs). In this talk I will discuss prospects for detection of GW signals from cosmological phase transitions with the currently running experiments and the upcoming next generation. Including the problems associated with observation of a primordial signal in the presence of foregrounds produced by astrophysical objects.

Beyond Einstein: Gravitational waves from Extended Gravities
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Room: Online Salvatore Capozziello, University of Naples(Universita' di Napoli "Federico II") Topic: Gravitational Waves signatures in Modified Gravity Models Title: Beyond Einstein: Gravitational waves from Extended Gravities Date: November 23, 16:30 Abstract: Modified theories of gravity are today extensively studied as possible wayout for General Relativity shortcomings both at UV and IR scales. However, gravitational waves have not been studied enough in this framework both from teoretical and observational points of view. Here, we discuss gravitational waves in theories of gravity aimed to extend General Relativity. The goal is to classify new polarizations in view of possible detection to finally fix the theory of gravity. You can see this seminar at Youtube : https://youtu.be/G-G7kRmgDgE

COSMIC STRING NETWORKS and GRAVITATIONAL WAVES
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Room: Online José Juan Blanco Pillado, Date: December 14, 16:30 Title: COSMIC STRING NETWORKS and GRAVITATIONAL WAVES Abstract: In this talk, we will review how cosmic strings appear as solitonic solutions in many models of high-energy physics beyond the Standard Model. We will also describe the main ingredients for the cosmological formation and evolution of a network of strings. We will then discuss the latest results from large-scale simulations of these networks and their implications for the expected stochastic background of gravitational waves. Finally, we will comment on the current bounds of these models coming from current and future gravitational wave observatories. You can see this seminar at Youtube: https://youtu.be/pcXnGmY2xAQ

Hunting for the gravitational-wave background: detection methods and implications for astrophysics, high energy physics and the early Universe
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Room: Online Mairi Sakellariadou, King's College London Date: TBA (Date is postponed) Title: Hunting for the gravitational-wave background: detection methods and implications for astrophysics, high energy physics, and the early Universe Abstract: I will first define the gravitational-wave background and highlight the currently used detection method. The first three observing runs by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaboration have not detected such a background placing stringent upper limits which depend on the source (compact binaries, cosmic strings, phase transitions). I will then discuss how these limits can be used to constrain astrophysical models, high-energy physics models beyond the Standard Model, and early Universe cosmological scenarios.
