Third generation gravitational wave detectors: the view from Latin America

São Paulo, Brazil
The second generation of Gravitational wave (GW) detectors has been operating until recently at unprecedented sensitivity, providing observations of binary system coalescences, whose sources are neutron stars and black holes with masses ranging from one to one hundred solar masses.

The new (3rd) generation of gravitational detectors consists of two projects: Cosmic Explorer (CE) and Einstein Telescope (ET), supported respectively by US and European collaborations with Latin America (LATAM) scientists involved in both projects.

With the intent of covering the wide range of fundamental physics, astronomy and cosmology topics that can be addressed by the upcoming gravitational wave detectors, the goal of the workshop is to spur the contribution of LATAM researchers to the field, with dedicated sessions to all aspects of GW science including Cosmology, Fundamental gravity, Astrophysical populations, Multimessenger astronomy, Neutron stars, Dark matter, Data analysis and Instrument science.

Application deadline: 10 May 2026
