Detecting the undetectable: technologies and challenges in rare-event searches, C. Girard-Carillo (LPSC) – November 28th 2025 @2pm
Updates from the fourth release of the Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4) and latest results from the search for an Isotropic Gravitational-Wave Background from the first part of LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA’s fourth Observing Run (O4a), A. ROMERO-RODRIGUEZ (LAPP) – January 23rd 2026 @2pm

Introduction to Rust, P. AUBERT (LAPP) – March 6th 2026 @2pm

Ce séminaire présente Rust, un langage système moderne (utilisé pour les noyaux, la robotique, etc.), en pleine expansion. Il en explore les atouts, les défauts et les particularités, le compare au C++ et à Python, et illustre son utilisation innovante par l’équipe CTA-RTA au LAPP.

Updates from the fourth release of the Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4) and latest results from the search for an Isotropic Gravitational-Wave Background from the first part of LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA’s fourth Observing Run (O4a), A. ROMERO-RODRIGUEZ (LAPP) – January 23rd 2026 @2pm

GWTC-4 adds 128 new compact binary detections (total: 218), with some SNR > 30. The O4a GWB search sets 1.7×–2.1× tighter limits on energy density and polarizations. A+ sensitivity may detect the CBC background.
