“Exploring New Horizons with Gravitational Waves”: a one-day intensive workshop on testing General Relativity on Black Hole Horizons with Gravitational Waves.

Albert Einstein Institute, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational
Physics, Hannover and Leibniz Universität, Hannover, Germany

Friday, June 8, 2012

The scientific objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers in gravitational theory, numerical relativity and relativistic astrophysics to brainstorm on strategies for using LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave detectors to test General Relativity in the strong field regime near black hole horizons.
