SUMMARY:Dawn VII
DESCRIPTION:Every 2-3 years\, the community of physicists working with ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors holds a discussion-based “Dawn” meeting to plan for the future of the field.  \nThis year the global ground-based GW community (LIGO\, Virgo\, KAGRA\, Cosmic Explorer\, and Einstein Telescope) is coming to us: Blusson QMI is hosting the Dawn VII meeting June 12-13 in the Scarfe building. \nYou can find a program outline here: https://dawn7.phas.ubc.ca/program/ \nDawn VII will be a great introduction to challenges\, opportunities\, and relevant timescales for development of enabling technologies for ground-based GW detectors\, including thin-film mirror coatings (a critical need with a lot of overlapping expertise in QMI)\, large-scale substrates\, thermal effects\, sensor development\, and quantum squeezing.  \nThere will also be satellite workshops devoted to pursuing a needed breakthrough in thin-film coatings and GW detector technology on Friday June 14.  \nPlease register here!
