Abstract:

The “NSF Workshop on Large Ultrahigh Vacuum Systems for Frontier Scientific Research Instrumentation “ was held at the LIGO Livingston, LA site on Jan. 28-31, 2019. The workshop primarily focused on the need to identify cost-effective technologies for the design, construction and operation of the large vacuum systems that would be required for gravitational wave observatories (GWO) that are a factor of ten larger than the current generation systems in the US (LIGO), Europe (Virgo) and Japan (KAGRA).
