This book describes detection techniques used to search for and
analyze gravitational waves (GW). It covers the whole domain of GW
science, starting from the theory and ending with the experimental
techniques (both present and future) used to detect them.The
theoretical sections of the book address the theory of general
relativity and of GW, followed by the theory of GW detection. The
various sources of GW are described as well as the methods used to
analyse them and to extract their physical parameters. It includes
an analysis of the consequences of GW observations in terms of
astrophysics as well as a description of the different detectors
that exist and that are planned for the future.With the recent
announcement of GW detection and the first results from LISA
Pathfinder, this book will allow non-specialists to understand the
present status of the field and the future of gravitational wave
science.
