LIGO Scientific Collaboration

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) is a collaboration by numerous physics institutes and research groups dedicated to the search for gravitational waves using the detectors LIGO and GEO 600.

Under an agreement with the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), LSC members also have access to data from the Virgo detector, forming a joint effort informally known as the LSC-Virgo Collaboration.
