引力波探测器已经在以令人感兴趣的灵敏度水平运行，它们有一条升级的道路，到2014年应该可以实现安全的探测。我们回顾了引力波的物理学，它们如何与探测器（棒和干涉仪）相互作用，以及这些探测器如何工作。我们研究了引力波最可能的来源，并回顾了用于从探测器噪声中提取其信号的数据分析方法。然后我们考虑引力波探测和观测对物理学、天体物理学和宇宙学的影响。
Gravitational wave detectors are already operating at interesting sensitivity levels, and they have an upgrade path that should result in secure detections by 2014. We review the physics of gravitational waves, how they interact with detectors (bars and interferometers), and how these detectors operate. We study the most likely sources of gravitational waves and review the data analysis methods that are used to extract their signals from detector noise. Then we consider the consequences of gravitational wave detections and observations for physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
