LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is a space project whose goal is to detect gravitational waves. LISA opens a completely new window into the heart of the most energetic processes in the Universe, with consequences fundamental to both physics and astronomy.
The APC is involved in the discussion of data centre activities for LISA. An outline of a data processing centre for the L1 mission proposal can be found here.
