The European Gravitational Observatory or EGO is located in the countryside near Pisa, in the hamlet of Santo Stefano a Macerata in the comune of Cascina. In order to ensure the long term scientific exploitation of the Virgo interferometric antenna for gravitational waves detection as well as to foster European collaboration in this upcoming field, the Virgo funding institutions have created a consortium called EGO.
The Virgo interferometer is a large interferometer designed to detect gravitational waves predicted by the general theory of relativity. Virgo is a Michelson interferometer that is isolated from external disturbances: its mirrors and instrumentation are suspended and its laser beam operates in a vacuum. The instrument's two arms are three kilometres long and located in Santo Stefano a Macerata, near the city of Pisa, Italy.
An interferometric gravitational-wave detector is a gravitational wave detector that uses the wave interference to detect gravitational waves. Laser interferometers detects gravitational waves that extend and contract the distance between mirrors. Atom interferometers are proposed to detect gravitational waves, which would lengthen or shorten the distance between recombining atom clouds. Interferometric gravitational-wave detectors are one class of detectors and for more information about other types of instruments used for gravitational wave detection see the article on gravitational wave observatories.
