A battle of designs: triangular vs. L-shaped detectors and parity violation in the gravitational-wave background
Hannah Duval, Charles Badger, Mairi Sakellariadou +1
We investigate the prospects for detecting a parity-violating gravitational-wave background (GWB) with third-generation ground-based detector networks. We focus on a network consis…
Probing Cosmic Expansion and Early Universe with Einstein Telescope
Angelo Ricciardone, Mairi Sakellariadou, Archisman Ghosh +52
Over the next two decades, gravitational-wave (GW) observations are expected to evolve from a discovery-driven endeavour into a precision tool for astrophysics, cosmology, and fund…
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…
Investigating cosmic histories with a stiff era through Gravitational Waves
Hannah Duval, Sachiko Kuroyanagi, Alberto Mariotti +2
We investigate the potential of gravitational-wave background searches to constrain cosmic histories characterised by a stiff equation of state, preceded by a period of matter domi…
