Накратко на български

Гравитационните вълни, гама-лъчите и частиците помагат за изучаването на най-екстремните явления във Вселената. Комбинирането на тези данни позволява по-добро разбиране на космоса чрез едновременни наблюдения на различни сигнали.

NEw WindowS on the universe and technological advancements from trilateral EU-US-Japan collaboration

NEWS promotes the collaboration between EU, US and JP research institutions in key areas of fundamental physics than can open new windows on the universe. These include gravitational wave astronomy, astrophysics and particle physics. NEWS researchers have given leading contributions to develop cutting-edge physics experiments to explore the universe and study particle physics. They are involved in the data analysis of these experiments and in new experimental challenges that require substantial technological advancements. The LIGO and Virgo collaborations have built the largest gravitational wave observatories in the world in US and Italy. Based on km-long laser interferometers located thousands of kilometres apart, they detect gravitational waves and probe their astrophysical sources. The observation of gravitational waves has inaugurated the era of gravitational wave astronomy pursued in an international collaborative effort which includes also the Japanese observatory KAGRA. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) collaboration built and operates the principal scientific instrument on the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope spacecraft launched by NASA in the year 2008. The LAT is a high-energy gamma-ray telescope covering the entire sky in few hours. It has recorded more than one billion gamma-rays over the whole sky and released the catalogue of thousands of sources in condition of strong gravity and magnetic fields. These detectors allow to study the most violent phenomena in the Universe in a new multi-messenger way, by taking advantage of the simultaneous observations of different cosmic messengers, gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. This is complemented by the study of phenomena produced in the laboratory by employing high-intensity and high-energy particle beams. The Muon Campus at the Fermilab is hosting two world class experiments dedicated to the search for signals of new physics in the interactions of high-energy particles. Muon (g-2) will determine with a ten-fold improvement the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon while Mu2e will improve by four orders of magnitude the sensitivity on the search for the as-yet unobserved Charged Lepton Flavour Violating (CLFV) process of a neutrino-less conversion of a muon to an electron. EU research institutions have a leading role in these experiments. The results will complement those from similar CLFV searches carried out in Europe and produce fruitful collaborations in this field. These researches require the development of new cutting-edge technologies in several areas, including superconducting materials, used to develop particle accelerators and detectors, cryogenics, radiation detectors, particle detectors, analog and digital electronics for hostile environments and for space, computing infrastructures. NEWS coordinates the research activity of about 100 researchers from 13 EU research institutions, 3 small/medium size enterprises and 15 partners from US, JP, RF and HK and promotes these international and inter-sectoral collaborations by means of secondments of personnel.

Цел на проекта

NEWS promotes the collaboration between European, US and Japanese research institutions in some key areas of fundamental physics. LIGO and Virgo collaborations have built the largest gravitational wave observatories and exploit the propagation of light and spacetime to detect gravitational waves and probe their sources. The first observation of a signal from a merging black hole system has inaugurated the era of gravitational wave astronomy. The Large Area Telescope collaboration operates a gamma-ray telescope onboard the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope mission and has revolutionized our view of the gamma-ray Universe, by increasing the number of known sources, unveiling new classes of gamma-ray emitters, and probing particle acceleration and electromagnetic emission in space with unprecedented detail. Fermi is the reference all-sky gamma-ray monitor for the follow-up searches for electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources. The multimessenger astronomical observations will soon be enriched by X-ray polarization detectors. New-generation space telescopes will measure the polarization of X-rays from the cosmic sources and probe the laws of physics under extreme conditions of gravitational and electromagnetic fields. A complementary approach to probe the Universe is provided by particle accelerators built in laboratories. FNAL will provide the cleanest probes for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The Muon (g-2) experiment will measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment with unprecedented precision. Mu2e will search for the neutrinoless coherent muon conversion to an electron in the Coulomb field of a nucleus, which would be the unambiguous evidence of new, unknown, physics. These endeavors require innovative detectors and cutting-edge technologies that NEWS will develop to open new “windows” in fundamental physics.
