GINGER
In this paper, we outline the scientific objectives, the experimental layout,
and the collaborations envisaged for the GINGER (Gyroscopes IN GEneral
Relativity) project. The GINGER project brings together different scientific
disciplines aiming at building an array of Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs),
exploiting the Sagnac effect, to measure continuously, with sensitivity better
than picorad/ s, large bandwidth (ca. 1 kHz), and high dynamic range, the
absolute angular rotation rate of the Earth. In the paper, we address the
feasibility of the apparatus with respect to the ambitious specifications
above, as well as prove how such an apparatus, which will be able to detect
strong Earthquakes, very weak geodetic signals, as well as general relativity
effects like Lense-Thirring and De Sitter, will help scientific advancements in
Theoretical Physics, Geophysics, and Geodesy, among other scientific fields.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figure
