Title Gravitational wave mosaic 
Description A large scale artwork made in collaboration with students at Cardonald Primary School, this piece is a 2.5mx2.5m large mosaic representing the signal from the first ever detection of gravitational waves, the piece shows the importance of collaboration in moder scientific discovery's as over 1200 individual pixels of paper recycled from scientific publications and presentations have been hand coloured by the students and put together to reproduce this discovery that lead to the award of the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics. 
Type Of Art Artwork 
Year Produced 2023 
Impact The creation of this artwork had a notable impact on the students (and staff) at Cardonald Primary School. The whole school contributed to it's creation and feedback showed is made the students more interested in science. The artwork will be in future displayed in multiple locations from museums and art galleries to have further impact as a point of interest and inspiration. 
 
Title Swimming with gravitational waves 
Description Swimming with Gravitational Waves is a cross discipline performance event that combines science communication with electronic musical performance and physical activity. The event is inspired by the work of gravitational wave astrophysicists and turns science into art with a musical performance in the immersive environment of a swimming pool. The event includes a public outreach talk on the science behind the show and an experience aimed at exciting the imagination of the public while showing the creativity that links the art and science sectors. This event was created in 2023 with pilot events in Birmingham (Mosely Road Baths July 2023) and Glasgow (Arlington Baths Nov 2023) 
Type Of Art Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc) 
Year Produced 2023 
Impact This artistic produce has had a noticeable impact in the first year that it has been run, from the two events in Birmingham and Glasgow there are been multiple expressions of interest in future events of the same type and based on feedback from the events has had a high impact on the public appreciation of scientific research.

Title Establishment of the Extreme Performance Optical Coatings testbed (EPOC) within the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) 
Description This facility is the first to establish both state-of-the-art ion beam deposition (IBD) and novel modified IBD techniques to the UK photonics sector. It was established (and managed) through a partnership between the universities of Strathclyde, Glasgow and West of Scotland, alongside industrial partners Helia Photonics and Gooch and Housego. The facility gives an exploitation route for coating developments within the gravitational wave research groups, which otherwise could only be capitalised by overseas organisations. One of the UK's Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics (QTFP) programs (Quantum-enhanced Interferometry, led by the University of Cardiff) will be the first to exploit access to these manufacturing capabilities for the establishment of interferometric testbeds for detection dark matter and observing the potential quantisation effects of space-time. The facility also played a key role in attracting a top international applicant who was awarded an Ernest Rutherford Fellowship (Dr Mariana Fazio, ST/W004844/1).

Title Bayesian Techniques in gravitational wave data analysis 
Description Bayesian methods for parameter estimation in low signal to noise ratio gravitational wave signals from our detectors are of application in other areas of sensing, including at least one of commercial interest. Some classes of gravitational wave signals will be detected by matched filtering. To extract the maximum astrophysical information from a detected event requires parameter estimation, taking into account a model for the signal and resulting in a statistical statement about the system which produced the signals. Methods have been developed to allow optimal estimation of parameters from even quite low signal to noise ratio detections. These methods are being applied to detection of other signal types.

Title Beyond GWTC-3: Analysing and verifying new gravitational-wave events from the 4-OGC Catalogue 
Description These data contain the parameter estimation results described in "Beyond GWTC-3: Analysing and verifying newgravitational-wave events from the 4-OGC Catalogue" in a format which is designed to be comparable to those used in GWTC catalogue parameter estimation data releases. We have also included the posterior samples for the relevant events from the original [4-OGC](https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.06878) publication, which are made available under the terms of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence. The results are presented in the same PESummary metafile format as the [GWTC-3](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.5546662) data release, however we do not provide mixed samples, as our analysis only contains results produced with the IMRPhenomXPHM waveform approximant. The samples from our analysis are labelled as `C01:IMRPhenomXPHM` within the metafile, in keeping with the convention adopted in GWTC-3.The samples from 4-OGC are labelled as `4-ogc`.   In addition, we provide the blueprints required to reproduce the various analyses using the asimov software. These are contained in the YAML format files named OGC######_######.yaml for the various events. Beyond GWTC-3 Samples The samples from the "Beyond GWTC-3" publication are distributed according to the terms of the CC-BY 4.0 license. 4-OGC Samples Note that the 4-OGC samples are redistributed under the terms of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license.

Title Gravity Spy Machine Learning Classifications of LIGO Glitches from Observing Runs O1, O2, O3a, and O3b 
Description This data set contains all classifications that the Gravity Spy Machine Learning model for LIGO glitches from the first three observing runs (O1, O2 and O3, where O3 is split into O3a and O3b). Gravity Spy classified all noise events identified by the Omicron trigger pipeline in which Omicron identified that the signal-to-noise ratio was above 7.5 and the peak frequency of the noise event was between 10 Hz and 2048 Hz. To classify noise events, Gravity Spy made Omega scans of every glitch consisting of 4 different durations, which helps capture the morphology of noise events that are both short and long in duration. There are 22 classes used for O1 and O2 data (including No_Glitch and None_of_the_Above), while there are two additional classes used to classify O3 data (while None_of_the_Above was removed). For O1 and O2, the glitch classes were: 1080Lines, 1400Ripples, Air_Compressor, Blip, Chirp, Extremely_Loud, Helix, Koi_Fish, Light_Modulation, Low_Frequency_Burst, Low_Frequency_Lines, No_Glitch, None_of_the_Above, Paired_Doves, Power_Line, Repeating_Blips, Scattered_Light, Scratchy, Tomte, Violin_Mode, Wandering_Line, Whistle For O3, the glitch classes were: 1080Lines, 1400Ripples, Air_Compressor, Blip, Blip_Low_Frequency, Chirp, Extremely_Loud, Fast_Scattering, Helix, Koi_Fish, Light_Modulation, Low_Frequency_Burst, Low_Frequency_Lines, No_Glitch, None_of_the_Above, Paired_Doves, Power_Line, Repeating_Blips, Scattered_Light, Scratchy, Tomte, Violin_Mode, Wandering_Line, Whistle The data set is described in Glanzer et al. (2023), which we ask to be cited in any publications using this data release. Example code using the data can be found in this Colab notebook. If you would like to download the Omega scans associated with each glitch, then you can use the gravitational-wave data-analysis tool GWpy. If you would like to use this tool, please install anaconda if you have not already and create a virtual environment using the following command
conda create --name gravityspy-py38 -c conda-forge python=3.8 gwpy pandas psycopg2 sqlalchemy
After downloading one of the CSV files for a specific era and interferometer, please run the following Python script if you would like to download the data associated with the metadata in the CSV file. We recommend not trying to download too many images at one time. For example, the script below will read data on Hanford glitches from O2 that were classified by Gravity Spy and filter for only glitches that were labelled as Blips with 90% confidence or higher, and then download the first 4 rows of the filtered table.
from gwpy.table import GravitySpyTable H1_O2 = GravitySpyTable.read('H1_O2.csv') H1_O2[(H1_O2["ml_label"] == "Blip") & (H1_O2["ml_confidence"] > 0.9)] H1_O2[0:4].download(nproc=1)
Each of the columns in the CSV files are taken from various different inputs: ['event_time', 'ifo', 'peak_time', 'peak_time_ns', 'start_time', 'start_time_ns', 'duration', 'peak_frequency', 'central_freq', 'bandwidth', 'channel', 'amplitude', 'snr', 'q_value'] contain metadata about the signal from the Omicron pipeline. ['gravityspy_id'] is the unique identifier for each glitch in the dataset. ['1400Ripples', '1080Lines', 'Air_Compressor', 'Blip', 'Chirp', 'Extremely_Loud', 'Helix', 'Koi_Fish', 'Light_Modulation', 'Low_Frequency_Burst', 'Low_Frequency_Lines', 'No_Glitch', 'None_of_the_Above', 'Paired_Doves', 'Power_Line', 'Repeating_Blips', 'Scattered_Light', 'Scratchy', 'Tomte', 'Violin_Mode', 'Wandering_Line', 'Whistle'] contain the machine learning confidence for a glitch being in a particular Gravity Spy class (the confidence in all these columns should sum to unity). These use the original 22 classes in all cases. ['ml_label', 'ml_confidence'] provide the machine-learning predicted label for each glitch, and the machine learning confidence in its classification. ['url1', 'url2', 'url3', 'url4'] are the links to the publicly-available Omega scans for each glitch. 'url1' shows the glitch for a duration of 0.5 seconds, 'url2' for 1 seconds, 'url3' for 2 seconds, and 'url4' for 4 seconds. For the most recently uploaded training set used in Gravity Spy machine learning algorithms, please see Gravity Spy Training Set on Zenodo. For detailed information on the training set used for the original Gravity Spy machine learning paper, please see Machine learning for Gravity Spy: Glitch classification and dataset on Zenodo.

PI Contribution The UK Advanced LIGO Project (ALUK) involves transfer of the multiple stage / monolithic silica suspension technology developed for the GEO 600 detector to the LIGO detectors based in the U.S. Along with transfer of enhanced interferometric techniques this will create Advanced LIGO (aLIGO). We have provided all the main suspension systems for the three Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors. These complex mechanical systems suspend the core optical components, i.e. mirrors and beam-splitters, which form the interferometer at the heart of each detector. In particular we developed and then provided the ultra-low-dissipation, fused silica suspension technology that enables Advanced LIGO to have excellent sensitivity at low frequencies, plus all the associated production and characterisation equipment necessary to manufacture, install and maintain the suspensions. We provide continuing support for the assembly, characterisation, commissioning and operation of the suspensions and related detector technology.
Collaborator Contribution Membership of the ALUK enabled the associated project to be completed. Intellectual input, and design, procurement and manufacturing effort was shared among the partners. A memorandum of understanding signed by LIGO provides for access to gravitational wave data from aLIGO. The aims of the ALUK collaboration are to design and build detector components, and to assist with their installation and commissioning, and with the operation of the resulting aLIGO detectors. Collaborators provided design input to many subsystems of the project, expertise in procurement and manufacturing of precision electronic and mechanical components, and also project management.

PI Contribution We are contributing experimental and modelling expertise to three of the working groups (WG) in this project. In WG1 we will develop methods of parameter estimation for transient signals detected by ET, through application of our existing expertise in gravitational wave data analysis. In WG3 we will develop apparatus for measuring the birefringence of coated silicon samples and apply our expertise in finite element modelling to assist in the interpretation of cryogenic birefringence measurements carried out in collaboration with Hannover and Jena. In WG4 we will carry out studies and simulations of sensing and control issues for ET and carry out detailed modelling of the quantum noise and optical configuration.
Collaborator Contribution The aim of this project is to carry out essential collaborative research and development on key out-standing topics of the technical design of the Einstein Telescope, a 3rd generation underground gravitational wave detector. The three working groups we are participating in aim to study the scientific potential of ET, investigate key optical properties of silicon mirrors and study the advanced interferometer control systems required for ET. Each of these areas requires close collaboration with our European partners and the combination of the facilities and expertise of the participating groups. This will be facilitated by regular teleconferences, meetings and research visits between us and our partners, ensuring effective management of the joint projects and regular exchange of idea and results. Participation in this project provides opportunities for us to continue to contribute strongly to the technical development of ET and ensures that we continue to be an integral part of future developments in the field of gravitational wave detection in Europe.

Country Global 
Sector Private 
PI Contribution We have provided fused silica suspensions for the GEO 600 gravitational wave detector. These complex mechanical systems suspend the core optical components, i.e. mirrors and beam-splitters, which form the interferometer at the heart of each detector. We have also contributed to almost every other area of detector development, construction, installation and operation, and also to analysis of the resulting data. Examples include contributions to: detector topology and layout; interferometer sensing and control; digital control sub-systems; radio-frequency electro-optic modulation equipment; efficient photo-detection; seismic isolation; seismic monitoring; feed-forward seismic sensing and control; detector supervisory control infrastructure; detector calibration systems; low-level data collection and processing algorithms and systems; laser stabilisation and monitoring; environmental monitoring; data searches for continuous signals (pulsars) and data searches for burst signals (black hole formation).
Collaborator Contribution The GEO600 team collaborates with the GW groups in the USA (LIGO), in France/Italy (Virgo) and in Japan (TAMA300). As a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) and the Virgo Collaboration, GEO600 has performed several long-term data runs together with the other gravitational wave detectors, in the search for the first observations. Financial support for the GEO project has been supplied by the State of Lower Saxony, the Max Planck Society, the Science and Technology Facilities Council, the Volkswagen Foundation, and the Federal Republic of Germany. Personnel costs are supplied by the Max Planck Society and the Leibniz University Hannover, running costs by the Max Planck Society Membership of the GEO is core to our research. It provides access to gravitational wave data, opportunities to contribute to instrument upgrades, training for our graduate students and PDRAs, and is the first destination for many of our technology developments. Membership of GEO was a step towards membership of the LSC (q.v.). Collaborators operate the GEO 600 detector to produce data. They archive this and enable us to access it for analysis and carry out joint analysis with us. Collaborators host our equipment at the detector, which we built jointly with them. Through exchange visits and regular meetings there is exchange of ideas on all aspects of gravitational wave detector design.

Organisation LIGO Scientific Collaboration
Country United States 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution The LSC carries out the science of the LIGO Observatories, located in Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana as well as that of the GEO600 detector in Hannover, Germany. Our collaboration is organized around three general areas of research: analysis of LIGO and GEO data searching for gravitational waves from astrophysical sources, detector operations and characterization, and development of future large scale gravitational wave detectors. As evidenced by our outputs that emerge from this collaboration, we contribute strongly to these three areas. In particular we develop low-noise suspension technology and design new optical techniques for the detectors. We also contribute strongly to data analysis particularly in the searches for pulsars and "ringing down" of newly formed black holes. One of our most significant contributions in the area of data analysis has been in the application of Bayesian techniques to parameter estimation in gravitational wave searches.
Collaborator Contribution The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) is a group of scientists seeking to make the first direct detection of gravitational waves, use them to explore the fundamental physics of gravity, and develop the emerging field of gravitational wave science as a tool of astronomical discovery. The LSC works toward this goal through research on, and development of techniques for, gravitational wave detection; and the development, commissioning and exploitation of gravitational wave detectors. Membership of the LSC fundamentally enables our research. It provides access to gravitational wave data, opportunities to contribute to instrument upgrades, and training for our graduate students, and is the primary locus for application of our technology developments. As the World-leading collaboration in the field membership of the LSC is vital to our ongoing research. Collaborators operate the four LSC detectors to produce gravitational wave data. With us they archive this and enable us to access it for analysis. The collaboration carries out joint analysis of the data from all four instruments. Collaborators host our equipment at the detectors, and also at test facilities at which we undertake joint technology developments, supplementing those we carry out in Glasgow. Collaborators provide training in the operation of detectors, and detector subsystems. Within the technical working groups set up by the collaboration, there is exchange of ideas on advanced interferometer techniques and topologies, on data analysis, on laser sources, on optics, including optical coatings and thermal noise, and on suspension technology.

Title MEASUREMENT OF ACCELERATION 
Description An acceleration measuring device is disclosed, for use as a gravimeter or gradiometer for example. The device has a support and a proof mass, connected to each other by at flexures allowing displacement of the proof mass relative to the support. The support defines a space for displacement of the proof mass. The device is configured so that the modulus of the gradient of the force-displacement curve of the proof mass decreases with increasing displacement, for at least part of the force-displacement curve. This is the so-called anti-spring effect. The resonant frequency of oscillation of the proof mass is determined at least in part by the orientation of the device relative to the direction of the force due to gravity. The proof mass is capable of oscillating with a resonant frequency of 10 Hz or less. The proof mass has a mass of less than 1 gram.

Title Amplitude or arbitrary phase sideband optical cavity probes 
Description We have extended the standard technique used to probe the optical cavities of gravitational wave detectors to determine the state of resonance of the ingoing light (and hence sense parameters such as the length) by generalising them. The standard technique involves applying phase modulation sidebands, and we have extended this to include either amplitude or arbitrary phase sidebands. The effect of this is to allow us to probe internal degrees of freedom of multi-cavity systems, and to maximise the separation of signals in the process of reading out coupled degrees of freedom, as is needed for reliable control.

Title Development of cryogenic MEMS for gravity mapping 
Description A direct spin-off of the group?s expertise in low loss monolithic suspensions and precision optical sensing has led to the development of a new research theme on cryogenic silicon Micro-Electro-Mechanical Sensors (MEMS). We are developing a novel tri-axial, low frequency (<5Hz) miniaturised MEMS gradiometer able to sense nano-g changes (<10ng in 1s) in the local gravitational field. This is equivalent to a performance ten times better than any current device on the market. Building a device at the target sensitivity will require thermal noise optimisation of the MEMS silicon flexures and the use of geometrical anti-springs to lower the device resonant frequency, the development of a high stability on-chip optical readout, the ability to tune the device to reject common mode non-gravitational accelerations and cryogenic operation to provide long term stability. Instrumentation technologies (inc. vibration, miniaturisation, ruggedness)

Title Diffractively coupled high finesse optical cavities 
Description The demand for ever higher power in laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors, together with the possible choice of silicon mirror substrates to allow cryogenic operation (silicon is opaque at the normally chosen laser wavelength of 1064 nm), led us to investigate the diffractive optics. In our application a weak diffractive coupler, in 2nd order Littrow configuration, is used to send light in and out of an optical resonator (replacing the usual partly-transmitting mirror, and so avoiding the need for a transmitting mirror substrate).

Results and Impact I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here is a nationally-run schools engagement program, in which pupils at participating schools are given the chance to have live web chats with researchers about a given field of science (in this case research into gravity), and also to leave questions on a website, which can then be answered over a two-week period. The questions ranged from queries about gravity and astronomy (e.g. "what is a black hole") to questions about what it's like to work as a scientist. The event is intended to provide pupils with an accurate image of who scientists are, as well as allowing them to interact directly with people involved in research.

Results and Impact This project involved the production of "infographics" to communicate the important results of the detection of gravitational waves from the first two advanced LIGO observing runs. A total of five graphics resulted, which were each used as a component of the LIGO social media posts for each event, and in the case of GW170817, the graphic was included in the LSC press pack which was distributed to journalists. The reach of the material on Twitter was international - most considerably for GW170817 thanks to its translation into more than 20 languages, and the graphic was included in articles about the event internationally, making the total audience size rather difficult to estimate.

Results and Impact The Communities in Conversation project took place in the Men's shed in Inverness in autumn 2023. It was an Institute of Physics in Scotland (IOPS) and local community led project with facilitators from Belong. Physicists were vbrought together with community groups to share experiences through empathy games and dialogue. There were lively discussions and hands-on experiences about waves, and risk. We addressed issues of making physics more accessible by discussing the connections between the concerns of physicists and everyday life in the community. It was discussed and recognised that physics is not limited to laboratories and textbooks-it is all around us, and its language is intertwined with our everyday conversations in the community.

Results and Impact IGR make regular visits to give talks and lead workshops in local high schools. These visits are made by staff at all levels but particularly by postgraduate students and early-career postdocs. Many of these visits are supported and coordinated by Science Connects (formerly SETPOINT) and are thus linked to the STEM Ambassador scheme.

Informal feedback from schools to our STEM Ambassadors and other visitors is highly positive. Over the past 5 years the size of our Level 1 undergraduate classes in Physics and Astronomy has increased by more than 50%. Our schools outreach activities are among the factors that have brought about this increase.
