Shape)¶

To setting the properties of a given detector, create a python dictionary with the following entries:

{"name","lon","lat","rot","shape"}

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of detector among (“ET”,”CE”,”CE_20km”,”CE_40km”,”LIGO”,”Virgo”,”KAGRA”);
lon (float) – Longitude;
lat (float) – Latitude;
rot (float) – Counter-clockwise orientation angle (in degrees). For the standard L-shaped interferometer (shape=90°), rot=0° corresponds to one arm pointing South and the other East, so that the detector bisector points South-East. For arbitrary arm opening angles (shape ≠ 90°), the bisector orientation remains fixed while the two arms rotate symmetrically by ±shape/2 around it.
shape (float) – Openning angle of the interferometer’s arms.

Example:

detector = {"name":"ET","lon":5,"lat":10,"rot":45,"shape":60}
