The LIGO journal club meets at 4PM on Fridays in the SCR, 3rd floor of W Bridge. The idea is to bring people together in the afternoon and talk about a recent journal article from PRL, ApJ or the like. Someone is designated as a lead (ensuring someone has read the article!), to initiate the discussion, but not to present slides or give a monologue. The lead should also post a link to the article below, a few days in advance. Preferably, selected articles won't be exceptionally long, and would relate (at least obliquely) to LIGO.

A complete list of CIT e-journals is available at http://library.caltech.edu/.

LG33 has been proposed to replace TEM00 mode in order to reduce thermal noise. They demonstrate that LG33 can illuminate Michelson IFO with visibility of 97%,but degeneracy problem is yet to be assessed. The preliminary result has been reported [http://prd.aps.org/abstract/PRD/v82/i1/e012002 here]
