Alternative LISA-TAIJI networks: Detectability of the Parity Violation in Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background
arXiv:2412.18420 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.111.084026
Abstract
The detection of parity violation in the isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) will serve a crucial probe for new physics, particularly in parity-violating theories of gravity. The joint observations by the planned space-borne gravitational wave detectors, LISA and TAIJI, will offer a unique opportunity to observe such effects in the millihertz (mHz) band. This study evaluates the detectability of parity violation in the SGWB using two network configurations: LISA-TAIJIp and LISA-TAIJIm. The former configuration consists of LISA (inclined at relative to the ecliptic plane) and TAIJIp (also inclined at ), while the latter network pairs LISA with TAIJIm (inclined at ). Our analysis demonstrates that the sensitivity of the LISA-TAIJIm network to parity violation in the SGWB is approximately one order of magnitude greater than that of the LISA-TAIJIp network at lower frequencies. To quantify the performance of the two networks, we evaluate the signal-to-noise ratios for different spectral shapes, including power-law, single-peak, and broken power-law models, and estimate parameter determination using the Fisher information matrix. The results confirm that LISA-TAIJIm outperforms LISA-TAIJIp in detecting the SGWB with circular polarization components, offering a superior opportunity to test parity-violating gravitational constraints on various mechanisms in the mHz band.
