Welcome to the registration page for the ET Pathfinder excursions - Tuesday, Thursday & Friday
Register here for the excursion to ET Pathfinder.
ET Pathfinder is an R&D infrastructure in Maastricht designed and built for testing and prototyping innovative concepts and enabling technologies for the Einstein Telescope, the first third-generation (3G) laser-interferometric gravitational-wave (GW) observatory.
ET Pathfinder will provide a unique facility to prototype several aspects of the design and technology — such as precision technology, coatings, optics, special measurement and control technology, and seismic isolation — required for the Einstein Telescope, and to test them in an ET-like environment.
The ET Pathfinder collaboration is formed by more than 20 knowledge and research institutions from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Spain.
