LIGO

Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory
Successor Experiment:
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) will be a facility dedicated to the detection of cosmic gravitational waves and the harnessing of these waves for scientific research. It will consist of two widely separated installations within the United States, operated in unison as a single observatory. When it reaches maturity, this observatory will be open for use by the national community and will become part of a planned worldwide network of gravitational-wave observatories.
