Australian Partnership in Advanced LIGO+: continuation. The aim of this project is, in collaboration with the USA and UK, to complete the installation and commissioning of the Advanced LIGO+ facilities in the USA in order to bring them to design sensitivity. These facilities expect to increase the event rate of gravitational wave signals by a factor of 125. This should lead to daily detections and the observation of new sources of gravitational waves. Given that only 5% of the universe is detectable by telescopes, the impact of gravitational wave detections on our understanding of the universe is inestimable. Australian partnership intends to enable our physicists and astronomers to be at the vanguard of this brand new field and inspire a new generation to study the physical sciences.

澳大利亚在Advanced LIGO+上的合作伙伴关系：继续。该项目的目标是与美国和英国合作，完成美国先进LIGO+设施的安装和调试，以使其达到设计灵敏度。这些设施预计将引力波信号的事件率提高125倍。这将导致每天的探测和观测新的引力波源。鉴于宇宙中只有5%的空间可以被望远镜探测到，引力波探测对我们理解宇宙的影响是不可估量的。澳大利亚的合作伙伴关系旨在使我们的物理学家和天文学家成为这一全新领域的先锋，并激励新一代研究物理科学。
