Rome 1 group of the ROG collaboration

Welcome to the home page of the

Rome 1 group of the ROG Gravitational Wave Experiment ( Explorer and Nautilus detectors )

Ricerca di onde gravitazionali con i rivelatori Explorer e Nautilus


We are researchers of

INFN, Rome
and Physics Department
of the University of Rome "La Sapienza"

The goal of the experiment is to look for gravitational waves

Papers from the Spires data base are here

Since the year 2001, the bandwidth of the Explorer detector has increased. Also the bandwidth of Nautilus has increased, since the year 2003. The new system is described here:
