GWIC Meeting, Cardiff, 10 July 2011
Gravitational wave legacy in India
• Internationally recognized Indian contribution over two decades to
the global effort for detecting GW on two significant fronts
• Seminal contributions to source modeling at RRI [Bala Iyer]
and to GW data analysis at IUCAA [Sanjeev Dhurandhar]
• RRI: Indo-French collaboration for two decades to compute high accuracy
waveforms for in-spiraling compact binaries from which the GW templates used
in LIGO and Virgo are constructed. Cardiff collaboration on improved detection
templates, parameter estimation, implications for Astrophyscs and cosmology
• IUCAA: Designing efficient data analysis algorithms involving advanced
mathematical concepts.. Notable contributions include the search for binary inspirals, hierarchical methods, coherent search with a network of detectors and
the radiometric search for stochastic gravitational waves.
• IUCAA: Tarun Souradeep with expertise in CMB data & Planck creates bridge
between CMB and GW data analysis challenges : stochastic GW background
maps
•
IUCAA has collaborated with most international GW detector
groups and has been a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration
(LSC) for a decade.

IndIGO: The Aspirations
• Set up a major experimental initiative in GW astronomy
 MOU with ACIGA to collaborate on GW Astronomy
Two Alternatives depending on the Australian decision
Partner in LIGO-Australia
– Indian partnership at 15% of Australian cost with full data rights
Another Developing possibility…
LIGO-India
– Letter from LIGO Labs with offer of LIGO-India and Requirement Document

IndIGO Consortium has worked towards getting these
alternatives discussed among other National Mega
Projects in the coming Five year plan in India. For the
latter alternative, seeking National Flagship Mega Project
status to ensure requirements from the LIGO-Lab can be
met in time to seek the required NSF and US govt
approvals.
LIGO-India: Why is it a good idea?
• Geographical relocation Strategic for GW astronomy
–
–
–
–
–
–
Increased event rates (x2-4) by coherent analysis
Improved duty cycle
Improved Detection confidence
Improved Sky Coverage
Improved Source Location required for multi-messenger astronomy
Improved Determination of the two GW polarizations
• Potentially large Indian science user community in the future
– Indian demographics: youth dominated – need challenges
– Improved UG education system will produce a larger number of students
with aspirations looking for frontline research opportunity at home.
• Substantial data analysis trained faculty exists in India and
Large Data Analysis Center Facilities are being planned
IndIGO 3m Prototype Detector
Funded by TIFR Mumbai on campus (2010)PI: C. S.Unnikrishnan ( INR 3.5cr ~.7 M$
$)
Goals of the TIFR 3-m prototype interferometer (to be operational in 2014):
1) Research and Training platform with all the features of the
advanced LIGO-like detectors, scaled down to displacement
sensitivity around 10-18 m, above 200 Hz.
2) The Indian research platform for features like signal
recycling, DC read-out, and most importantly the use of
squeezed light and noise reduction (last phase).
3) Instrument for studies on short range gravity and QED force,
especially a measurement of the Casimir force in the range
10 -100 microns where no previous measurements exist
(Rajalakshmi and Unnikrishnan, Class, Quant. Grav. 27, 215007 (2010).

made significant progress to integrate into the GWIC plans
towards the setting up of a GW detector network

RRCAT (Next Plan period): Advanced Interferometry
(Narrow line width Frequency Stabilised laser development)
The laser will be an injection seeded Nd;YAG or Yb:Silica fiber laser locked to a stabilized reference
cavity. The target would be to demonstrate a laser with 1W output and sub-kHz line width and few Hz
stability. Scaling up of the power to 10W will be done as the next step.
RRCAT: Advanced Interferometry
(Ultraflat Components development)
Development of Ultraflat Optical
components such as mirrors for GWD will
require augmenting the existing facility with
an ion beam figuring system for final
correction of the polished optics to /500
or better.
