The matter-wave laser interferometer gravitation antenna (MIGA): New perspectives for fundamental physics and geosciences

We are building a hybrid detector of new concept that couples laser and matter-wave interferometry to study sub Hertz variations of the strain tensor of space-time and gravitation. Using a set of atomic interferometers simultaneously manipulated by the resonant optical field of a 200 m cavity, the...
