AIGO: a southern hemisphere detector for the worldwide array of ground-based interferometric gravitational wave detectors

Creators: Barriga, P.; Marx, J.; Whitcomb, S.

Abstract

This paper describes the proposed AIGO detector for the worldwide array of interferometric gravitational wave detectors. The first part of the paper summarizes the benefits that AIGO provides to the worldwide array of detectors. The second part gives a technical description of the detector, which will follow closely the Advanced LIGO design. Possible technical variations in the design are discussed.
