The Italian government is ready to
support the financial commitment to host the Einstein Telescope,
the large research infrastructure for the study of gravitational
waves that Italy has applied to build in Sardinia, in the area
of Sos Enattos, at Lula, the Ministry for Universities and
Research announced Wednesday.
It said the government has sent a letter to Antonio Zoccoli,
president of the National Nuclear Physics Institute (INFN) , the
coordinating body for Italy's candidacy for ET, confirming its
commitment, both institutional and economic, to ensure that the
proposal is the winning one at the European level.
The Einstein Telescope (ET) or Einstein Observatory, is a
proposed third-generation ground-based gravitational wave
detector, currently under study by some institutions in the
European Union.
It will be able to test Einstein's general theory of relativity
in strong field conditions and realize precision gravitational
wave astronomy.
