L´educació artística al museu: una eina per a la transformació social

Ressenya de la XII Jornada de Pedagogia de l´Art i Museus. Art, Educació i Comunitat.Des de l´any 2000 el Museu d´Art Modern de Tarragona acull anualment les jornades de Pedagogia de l´Art i Museus en col·laboració amb la Universitat Rovira i Virgili. L´objectiu d´aquestes jornades és el de reflexionar al voltant de les relacions i llaços existents entre els centres educatius i els museus, especialment d´art, així com fer visible la importancia dels museus com àmbits d´intercanvi i d´aprenentatge. Aquest llibre recull les propostes dels diferents professionals que es van reunir el 29 d´abril de 2015 al MAMT en la XII Jornada de Pedagogia de l´Art i Museus nomenada Art, educación i comunitat

Science with the Einstein Telescope: a comparison of different designs

The Einstein Telescope (ET), the European project for a third-generation gravitational-wave detector, has a reference configuration based on a triangular shape consisting of three nested detectors with 10 km arms, where each detector has a 'xylophone' configuration made of an interferometer tuned toward high frequencies, and an interferometer tuned toward low frequencies and working at cryogenic temperature. Here, we examine the scientific perspectives under possible variations of this reference design. We perform a detailed evaluation of the science case for a single triangular geometry observatory, and we compare it with the results obtained for a network of two L-shaped detectors (either parallel or misaligned) located in Europe, considering different choices of arm-length for both the triangle and the 2L geometries. We also study how the science output changes in the absence of the low-frequency instrument, both for the triangle and the 2L configurations. We examine a broad class of simple 'metrics' that quantify the science output, related to compact binary coalescences, multi-messenger astronomy and stochastic backgrounds, and we then examine the impact of different detector designs on a more specific set of scientific objectives
