Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run
Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546
From April 10, 2024 to November 18, 2025 Advanced Virgo participated in the fourth observing run of the network of gravitational-wave detectors, together with Advanced LIGO and KAG…
Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Enhanced long-duration gravitational-wave transient sources search pipeline with denoising and tree clustering algorithms
Hugo Einsle, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Adrian Macquet
We present a two-stage upgrade to the PySTAMPAS pipeline that boosts the search for long-duration (10 to 10^3 s) transients in gravitational-wave detector data. First, a denoising…
Weakly modeled search for compact binary coalescences in the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Macquet, Tito Dal Canton, Tania Regimbau
We search for gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary coalescences (CBC) in the mock data challenge of the Einstein Telescope (ET) with a detection algorithm tha…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
A weakly-modeled search for compact binary coalescences in Einstein Telescope
Adrian Macquet, Tito Dal Canton, Tania Regimbau
Einstein Telescope (ET) is a project of third generation gravitational wave (GW) detector with a planned sensitivity 10 times better than current detectors such as Advanced LIGO an…
Study of scattered light in the main arms of the Einstein Telescope gravitational wave detector
M. Andrés-Carcasona, A. Macquet, M. Martínez +2
We present an estimation of the noise induced by scattered light inside the main arms of the Einstein Telescope (ET) gravitational wave detector. Both ET configurations for high- a…
pygwb: Python-based library for gravitational-wave background searches
Arianna I. Renzini, Alba Romero-Rodrguez, Colm Talbot +31
The collection of gravitational waves (GWs) that are either too weak or too numerous to be individually resolved is commonly referred to as the gravitational-wave background (GWB).…
An instrumented baffle for the Advanced Virgo Input Mode Cleaner End Mirror
M. Andres-Carcasona, O. Ballester, O. Blanch +21
A novel instrumented baffle surrounding the suspended end mirror in the input mode cleaner cavity of the Virgo interferometer was installed in spring 2021. Since then, the device h…
Simulations of light distribution on new instrumented baffles surrounding Virgo end mirrors
A. Macquet, M. Andrés-Carcasona, M. Martinez +3
As part of the second phase of Advanced Virgo upgrade program, instrumented baffles are being constructed to be installed around the end mirrors in the main arms, in continuation o…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: tools
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the jo…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…

The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486
Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…
Searches for long-duration gravitational wave transients in LIGO and Virgo data
Adrian Macquet, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Nelson Christensen +1
Long-lived gravitational wave (GW) transients have received interest in the last decade, as the sensitivity of LIGO and Virgo increases. Such signals, lasting between 10 and 1000s,…
Long-duration transient, gravitational-wave search pipeline
Adrian Macquet, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Nelson Christensen +1
As the sensitivity and observing time of gravitational-wave detectors increase, a more diverse range of signals is expected to be observed from a variety of sources. Especially, lo…
Search for Long-duration Gravitational-wave Signals Associated with Magnetar Giant Flares
Adrian Macquet, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Eric Burns +4
Magnetar giant flares are rare and highly energetic phenomena observed in the transient sky whose emission mechanisms are still not fully understood. Depending on the nature of the…
Quantum simulation of quantum relativistic diffusion via quantum walks
Pablo Arnault, Adrian Macquet, Andreu Anglés-Castillo +6
Two models are first presented, of one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) with temporal noise on the internal degree of freedom (i.e., the coin): (i) a model with both a…
