SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Seismic Instrumentation in LIGO
DESCRIPTION:Please register for Seismic Instrumentation in LIGO on Janua
 ry 30\, 2019 2:00 PM EST at: \n\nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.
 com/register/2109080302239297539\n\nPresented by: Dr. Jenne Dr
 iggers\, Staff Scientist at LIGO Hanford Observatory\, Caltech
  \n\nAbstract: The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors
  have revolutionized the field of gravitational wave astrono
 my with the direct detection of gravitational waves from the
  mergers of compact stellar remnants. In this talk I will de
 scribe how a wide variety of seismic instruments have been c
 ritical to the development of gravitational wave detectors\, 
 enabling them to measure the motion of 40 kg mirrors to bett
 er than 1e-19 meters/sqrtHz at 100 Hz. I will highlight the 
 use of seismic instruments in several controls systems\, in p
 redicting future sensitivity limits to next-generation gravi
 tational wave detectors\, and in validating gravitational wav
 e candidates. I will conclude with outlooks to the future\, i
 ncluding instrument development within the LIGO Scientific C
 ollaboration\, and preparations for the upcoming observation 
 run.\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation ema
 il containing information about joining the webinar. PLEASE 
 NOTE: Registration does not confirm or guarantee you will ha
 ve a spot during the webinar\, as we are limited to 500 parti
 cipants. Please hop on the webinar early for your best chanc
