Description

The network of Interferometric Gravitational wave detectors is entering in the so-called advanced phase. In few years from now Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are expected to detect the gravitational waves emitted by a binary system of compact stars. The achievements of the initial interferometers, the scientific targets of the advanced and future 3rd generation observatories and the technological evolutions from Virgo to the Einstein Telescope (ET) are briefly discussed.
