Summary
An enclosive flow Cooling cell for spectroscopic studies. We wish to install a low temperature absorption cell that will be coupled to high resolution spectrometer systems operating in the infrared, visible and ultra-violet regions of the spectrum. This will enable us to further develop techniques for the study of the structures, dynamics and kinetics of molecules of biological and atmospheric significance. This will lead to a better understanding of the structures, dynamics and reaction kinetic ....An enclosive flow Cooling cell for spectroscopic studies. We wish to install a low temperature absorption cell that will be coupled to high resolution spectrometer systems operating in the infrared, visible and ultra-violet regions of the spectrum. This will enable us to further develop techniques for the study of the structures, dynamics and kinetics of molecules of biological and atmospheric significance. This will lead to a better understanding of the structures, dynamics and reaction kinetics of these species and in the case of atmospheric species also provide molecular parameters required for atmospheric monitoring.Read moreRead less

Equipment for international collaboration in gravitational wave detection: This project will allow the Australian Consortium for Gravitational Astronomy to install optical equipment at its dedicated research facility, and to install data analysis pipelines on new iVEC Pawsey Centre GPU-enabled supercomputers. The equipment is required for research aimed at stabilising instabilities in the new international gravitational wave detectors currently being commissioned in the USA and Europe. Real time data from the new detectors will be analysed using innovative new techniques. Scientists across Australia will be able to rapidly localise potential gravitational wave sources to direct robotic telescope observations. This could enable the first detection of gravitational waves.Read moreRead less
