Experimental gravitation: lecture notes in physics

By: Ricci, Fulvio; Bassan, MassimoMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Switzerland Springer 2022Description: xxii, 430 ppISBN: 9783030955953Subject(s): Physics: GravitationLOC classification: QC178
Contents:
Classical gravity; The Torsion pendulum; The Equivalence principle; Principles of metric theories; Tests of gravity at first post newtonian order; Gravity at second post newtonian order; Gravitational waves; The Resonant detector; Interferometric detectors of gravitational waves; Data analysis; Space detectors of gravitational waves; Pulsar as gravitational laboratory; The Sagnac effect; GPS and relativity
Summary: This book features a comprehensive review of experimental gravitation. While the background physics is summarized for less experienced readers, the emphasis is certainly on experimental verifications: the strategy, the apparatuses, the data analysis and the results of many cornerstone experiments are analyzed and discussed in depth.
