  abstract = {{W}e present the {MIGA} experiment, an underground long baseline atom interferometer to study gravity at large scale. {T}he hybrid atom-laser antenna will use several atom interferometers simultaneously interrogated by the resonant mode of an optical cavity. {T}he instrument will be a demonstrator for gravitational wave detection in a frequency band (100 m{H}z-1 {H}z) not explored by classical ground and space-based observatories, and interesting for potential astrophysical sources. {I}n the initial instrument configuration, standard atom interferometry techniques will be adopted, which will bring to a peak strain sensitivity of 2 center dot 10(-13)/root {H}z at 2 {H}z. {T}his demonstrator will enable to study the techniques to push further the sensitivity for the future development of gravitational wave detectors based on large scale atom interferometers. {T}he experiment will be realized at the underground facility of the {L}aboratoire {S}outerrain a {B}as {B}ruit ({LSBB}) in {R}ustrel-{F}rance, an exceptional site located away from major anthropogenic disturbances and showing very low background noise. {I}n the following, we present the measurement principle of an in-cavity atom interferometer, derive the method for {G}ravitational {W}ave signal extraction from the antenna and determine the expected strain sensitivity. {W}e then detail the functioning of the different systems of the antenna and describe the properties of the installation site.},
