After a pre-selection by the Dutch Institute for Subatomic Physics, Alca Technology, a company from Schio (VI) was awarded an international contract for the construction and testing of ET-Pathfinder, a European project that deals with the development and construction of the new “Einstein Telescope“, the first of a new class of future systems for the analysis of gravitational waves, which will allow researchers to study the birth of black holes and the structure of the universe immediately after the Big Bang.
The Einsten Telescope will detect several hundred thousand gravitational wave signals per year and will make it possible to listen to the sound of black holes merging throughout the universe.
For this ambitious project, we were involved by Alca Technology, with which we have been collaborating for several years, in the construction and testing of this instrumentation.
We are proud of this assignment, of our collaboration with Alca Technology and of our hard-working and internationally competent territory.
