    Session 3

    Among astrophysical gravitational waves sources yet undetected, of great interest are the binary close encounters involving black holes and/or neutron stars. These systems are characterized by high orbital eccentricities and form via dynamical interactions in dense stellar environments, like globular clusters or Active Galactic Nuclei disks. Their detection could shed light on the different...

    Session 3

    Astroparticles can get trapped in the Earth’s magnetosphere. There are a number of measurements of protons, electrons, heavy ions, solar energetic protons, galactic cosmic rays, as well as positrons in near-Earth space. The high-energy electrons in the Earth’s radiation belts were discovered by the first US satellite Explorer-1, which was designed to study cosmic rays. In the proposed project,...

  7. 44. The KM3NeT detector and infrastructure: an unprecedented tool for the exploration of deep sea
    Giorgio Maria Riccobene (INFN-LNS)

    Talk
    Session 3

    KM3NeT is an underwater Cherenkov neutrino telescope operating in the abysses of the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of two detectors: one located at 2500m water depth, 40 km offshore South of Toulon (France), in the Ligurian Sea; the other one located at 3500m depth, 90 km offshore South East of Capo Passero (Sicily) in the Ionian Sea.
    Each detector is an array of hundreds of mooring lines...

  8. 43. Geoneutrinos as probe for deep Earth
    Sandra Zavatarelli (INFN - Genova)

    Talk
    Session 3

    There are still several unanswered fundamental questions concerning our planet and in particular, about the deep Earth, from where we lack direct samples. Geo-neutrinos, electron anti-neutrinos produced in β decays of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in the Earth, are a unique direct probe of our planet’s interior. If detected, they allow to quantify the amount and distribution of...

  9. 50. Influences of environmental noises in the Virgo detector
    Irene Fiori (European Gravitational Observatory)

    Talk
    Session 3

    In order to detect gravitational waves, Virgo measures extremely small variations in differential elongations of the arms. Sources of geophysical and anthropogenic environmental noises, such as wind and railway traffic, can impact on the detector causing transient sensitivity worsening and gaps in data taking. We review the major sources studied during the last observing run and the more...

    Session 5

    The LabEx Univ'EarthS is a research program founded in 2011 that combines the scientific and technical expertise of several laboratories of Université Paris Cité (AIM, APC, IPGP, ONERA) to enhance the development of interdisciplinary projects and outreach initiatives in the fields of Earth and Universe Sciences. Over its >10 years of existence, it has funded about 50 projects involving more...

  13. 35. What can we measure with an Eötvös balance?
    Peter Ván (Wigner RCP)
    05/03/2024, 10:50
    Talk
    Session 5

    Eötvös balance is a dipole type gradio-gravitometer. In recent years, simple innovations have increased its sensitivity by two orders of magnitude, making it more sensitive to environmental effects, like pressure changes, Earth-mantle deformation, or earthquake-related events, among others [1]. In this presentation we will show the main elements of the modernisation and show examples of some...

    Session 7

    We highlight recent results from geophysical researches and applications conducted via measuring cosmic muons by HUN-REN Wigner RCP and University of Tokyo. Our main infrastructure is the Sakurajima Muography Observatory in Kyushu, Japan. It is a modular system that is operating with muon trackers based on gaseous detectors and scintillators. The SMO is monitoring the mass density changes...

  16. 34. Challenges in Newtonian noise estimations: rheological effects

    Talk
    Session 7

    Soil and rocks are not so elastic as expected, both present damped and delayed mechanical behavior, called viscoelasticity or rheology. Deviation of static and dynamic elasticity moduli of rocks can also be explained via rheology, furthemore, long term measurements prove that motion of the soil around underground facilities may be relevant even years after the construction. Although elastic...

    Talk
    Session 7

    A movable array of environmental sensors is intended for the feed-forward cancellation of the Newtonian noise generated by atmospheric density fluctuations and seismic displacements at the Virgo gravitational wave detector site, with the prospect of being used at the sites of future 3rd generation detectors.
    Each robot unit is equipped with a seismic sensor - optionally also a microphone and...
