GET STARTED

This Project is organized in increasing order of difficulty. We suggest starting
in the Playground to get familiar with our data and practice with some basic
"noise hunting", then progress to the next levels in ascending order of
difficulty. At each level, you will discover new challenging tasks. And, if it
is not enough for you, we have some special challenges that you can take on your
mobile device via the Zooniverse app!

Playground - What is a glitch?Level 1 - Catch the noiseLevel 2 - Find them
all!Level 3 - Watch out the sensors!Mobile Challenge - Lasso that glitch!Mobile
Challenge - Noise Profilers

WORDS FROM THE RESEARCHER

"We are constantly submerged in signals coming from the stars and the depth of
the Cosmos. It's awesome to stand listening to them to better understand the
Universe surrounding us and cooperate to achieve better knowledge."

ABOUT GWITCHHUNTERS

GWITCHHUNTERS aims at improving the performance of current Gravitational Wave
detectors in the experimental study of the Universe. Such instruments have
reached extraordinary sensitivities to accomplish this task, but they are also
very delicate and prone to spurious disturbances of non-astrophysical origin.
Our goal is to better understand their disturbances and find new solutions to
them.

We are a team of researchers devoted to this very challenging task, involving
state of the art technologies and analysis methods. It is not a simple one
though, because of the extreme complexity of the apparatuses and their
interconnections. For this reason, we need your help to join us in the exciting
endeavour of Gravitational Wave research!

This project is part of REINFORCE (Research Infrastructures FOR Citizens in
Europe).

REINFORCE aims to:

engage citizens in the contribution to online frontier science, create an active
community of citizen participants in scientific endeavours, introduce
responsible research and innovation into the citizen science landscape, assess
the impact of citizen science in science and society, create a citizen science
project policy roadmap for other large-scale research infrastructures, and
explore the potential of frontier citizen science for inclusion and diversity.

4 REINFORCE projects are available in Zooniverse:

GWitchHunters
New Particle Search at CERN
Cosmic Muon Images
Deep Sea Explorers
