1999 Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Wave Physics; Pasadena, California, July 12-16, 1999

这是一系列国际会议中的第三次会议，旨在汇集该领域的专家，交流研究进展信息，讨论新思想和新发现。前两次会议在欧洲举行。预计约有250人参加，其中许多人来自国外。世界上所有重力波干涉仪（LIGO， VIRGO， GEO， TAMA， ACIGA）的代表将介绍这些项目的现状报告。会议的大部分会议专门讨论探测重力波所需的技术进步。使用条形探测器和天基重力波实验室LISA的小组也会有报告。此外，会议将专门讨论重力波源和数据分析。因此，本次会议将汇集引力波物理学各方面的专家，讨论该领域的现状。此外，加州理工学院的基普·索恩（Kip Thorne）教授将提供免费的公开讲座。

This is the 3rd in a series of international conferences designed to bring together experts in the field to exchange information on research progress and to discuss new ideas and discoveries. The first two meetings were held in Europe. Some 250 participants are expected with many coming from abroad. Representatives of all of the gravity wave interferometers in the world (LIGO, VIRGO, GEO, TAMA, ACIGA) will present status reports on these projects. Most of the conference sessions are devoted to advances in technology necessary to enable detection of gravity waves. There will also be reports from groups using Bar Detectors and the space-based gravity wave laboratory, LISA. In addition, sessions will be devoted to gravity wave sources and to data analysis. Thus this conference will bring together experts in all aspects of gravity wave physics to discuss the current state of the field. In addition there will be a free public lecture presented by Professor Kip Thorne of Caltech.
