Contributed talk

Atom interferometry has been proposed for the realization of GW detectors in the infrasound band (10 mHz - 10 Hz) [1]. Such frequency band is forbidden to current ground based GW detectors due to low frequency gravity gradient noise that causes a tidal effect on the suspended mirrors used as test masses for the detection of gravitational radiation. Adopting as probes arrays of atom clouds in...
