Italy: Postdoctoral Position in Gravitational Waves, European Gravitational Observatory

Postdoctoral Position in Gravitational Waves, European Gravitational Observatory, Italy

Description:
The fellowship holder will participate to the commissioning of the Virgo+ interferometer. The work will consist in characterizing the thermal aberrations of the interferometer, the implementation of aberrations reduction strategies and locking strategies for Virgo+. In the study of thermal effects, particular attention will be devoted to the coupling of the input thermal aberrations with interferometer aberrations, also with the use of simulations codes. The work includes also the operation of the Thermal Compensation System, the definition of a figure of merit, the use of different beam input powers, with the aim of operating the interferometer at full power (25 Watts).
