A stochastic gravitational-wave background is the persistent signal that comes from overlapping, unresolved independent sources. These signals are individually undetectable, but detectable as a collectivity via their common influence on multiple detectors - the musical companion to the binary black hole or binary neutron star soloist. This hum will provide insights into our universe’s early history, allowing us to listen to the first-ever song of the universe in multiple frequency bands. The Gravitational Wave Orchestra 2022 will act as the ideal backdrop to listen to the various aspects of the gravitational-wave symphony.

During this two-day workshop, we will hear from:

• Joseph Romano (TTU, Lubbock)
• Irina Dvorkin (IAP, Paris)
• Vuk Mandic (UMN, Minnesota)
• Chiara Caprini (APC, Paris)
• Stephen Taylor (Vanderbilt U., Nashville)
• Giulia Cusin (U. Geneva & IAP, Paris)
• Sanjit Mitra (IUCAA, Pune)
• Tania Regimbau (LAPP, Annecy)
• Carlo Contaldi (Imperial College, London)
• Sébastien Clesse (ULB, Brussels)
• Josquin Errard (APC, Paris)
• Boris Goncharov (GSSI, L’Aquila)
• Guillaume Boileau (U. Antwerpen)
• Aditya Parthasarathy (MPIfR, Bonn)
• Alex Jenkins (UCL, London
• Kamiel Janssens (U. Antwerpen & ARTEMIS, Nice)

on a broad range of topics including:

• Review on stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds.
• Theoretical development in stochastic gravitational-wave background modelling.
• Most updated results from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration and Pulsar Timing Arrays.
• Future probes and strategies using: Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, and LISA.

Along with this, we will have a poster session and lightning talks. You are strongly encouraged to submit a poster abstract on stochastic gravitational-wave background-related research. Details can be found on the abstract submission page.

Registration and abstract submission deadline: August 05, 2022
