Description
In this talk I will discuss some recent development towards detecting gravitational waves in the kilo Hertz band. On the detector side, we propose a new interferometer design that significantly improves detector sensitivity above 1 kHz. On the science front, we identify several key questions that can be answered by combining high-frequency gravitational-wave detection and electromagnetic observation, including binary neutron star post-merger process, tests of modified gravity theories and understanding star disruption in black hole/neutron star mergers.
