How many gravitation experimenters are in India 1+1/2+1/3… How many Indian experimenters are working in gravityexperiments or nearby areas < 3x (1+1/2+1/3…) How many are needed to start a project and complete a prototype in 3 yrs 3 permanent (100%) + 4 – 6 people contributing 20% time How many are needed to work in collaboration with a large size detector About 5 full time (physics and engg.) + 2 theory + their students ( 10+) + 5 technical How many are needed for an INDIGO size project 10 permanent (physics and engineering) + 20 students + 20 technical + 5 theory/sim.
If INDIGO, there could be a realistic strategy: For a 4 km interferometer, costing $130 M (650 Crores), the cost of ‘vacuum’ dominates – almost $100 M. Vacuum system is scalable, and end points of the interferometer can be shifted as upgrades. So, one could build a $50 M scalable interferometer, < 1 km long, and still have a sensitivity better than present LIGO and start operation in half the time, exploiting all the new technologies and also some borrowed equipment. If LIGO hardware is going to be used, this is the best strategy in my view. Even for AIGO, this 2-step strategy could be considered if funds become an issue.
