News and announcements:
======================
* Please see slide.
* Nick: Workshop in Milan (July 10-14): https://sites.google.com/unimib.it/gwpopnext
* Giacomo: Workshop in site preparation for ET @ Maastricht next week. Another occassion where key decision may be made. https://indico.ego-gw.it/event/525/ (Alba from VUM going)
* No BelGrav meeting next week (Virgo week)
Computing:
=========
Andres: Virgo not much to say. ET preparing for a MDC. Data server in Louvain. Second server in Brussels. 50-60 k each of server and storage space. Giacomo: Virgo relies on a nearby centre where the data would be backed up. Official Virgo request?
Nick: @Andres To be specific, we applied for 256 CPU cores with hyperthreading (enabling 2 job slots per core), and an additional 1.3PB storage server
SGWB:
====
* Kamiel: Paper published in PRD (https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.022004). Had first stoch-detchar biweekly meetng last Friday. Good Belgian involvement. Starting to write thesis.
* Guillaume: ET non-identical noise and correlation.
* Kevin: Paper will be on arXiv to be posted today. Domain walls start tomorrow. For 5 yr data stoch + CBC.
* Max: Artefacts in strain data. Codes 200 times faster.
* Nick: Upcoming workshop in Milan in July on p
* Alex: Started discussion with Mairi. Inflaton + GW.
* Federico: PyStoch.
CW:
==
* Magdalena: No significant updates.
* Antione: Back to science from teaching. Starting a new short project: vector boson cluds.
Instrumentation:
===============
* Pengbo: Coil winding.
* Kumar: LVDT, demodulation methods.
* Anoop: RasWatt system to work in vacuum. Trying to get vacuum system working.
* Hans: Now have some planning from Nikhef. Bench towers for ETpf. Some specfic type of LVDT to be constructed first. Ultra high vacuum cleaning.
* Joris: Nb blocs used for testing. Interferometric readout. Morgane doing simulations. Freq of violn mode.
* Daniela: Suspension for ETpf. Manufacturing sent to Nikhef. Any other thing we can help with with our workshop.
