Assessing the Impact of Instrumental Requirements on the Scientific Performance of the Einstein Telescope

Ulyana Dupletsa, Francesco Iacovelli, Mikhail Korobko +23

We investigate the relationship between instrumental requirements and the scientific performance of the Einstein Telescope (ET), a third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave (GW) obs…

Hunting Dark Matter with the Einstein Telescope

A. J. Iovino, M. Maggiore, N. Muttoni +1

Too light primordial black holes evaporate and are therefore strongly constrained by various bounds, e.g. Cosmic Microwave Background distortion. However, if they are formed strong…

Cosmology and modified GW propagation from the BNS mass function at third-generation detector networks

Dounia Nanadoumgar-Lacroze, Niccolò Muttoni, Michele Maggiore +1

We perform forecasts for the Hubble parameter H_0 and for the parameter Xi_0 that describes modified gravitational-wave propagation, using information from the binary neutron star…

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…

ESO Expanding Horizon White Paper: Revealing the properties of matter at supranuclear densities with gravitational waves

Tim Dietrich, Tanja Hinderer, Micaela Oertel +40

Understanding dense matter under extreme conditions is one of the most fundamental puzzles in modern physics. Complex interactions give rise to emergent, collective phenomena. Whil…

Uncovering the population of compact binary mergers and their formation pathways with gravitational waves through the Einstein Telescope

M. Arca-Sedda, I. Dvorkin, G. Franciolini +19

Ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories have transformed our view of compact-object mergers, yet their reach still limits a comprehensive reconstruction of the processes…

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…

Confusion noise from astrophysical backgrounds at third-generation gravitational-wave detector networks

Enis Belgacem, Francesco Iacovelli, Michele Maggiore +2

At third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave detector networks, compact binaries coalescences produce a ``confusion noise'' due to unresolved sources and to the error in the reconst…

Comparison of global networks of third-generation gravitational-wave detectors

Michele Maggiore, Francesco Iacovelli, Enis Belgacem +2

We study the performances of a world-wide network made by a European third-generation gravitational-wave (GW) detector, together with a 40km Cosmic Explorer detector in the US, con…

The spectral density of astrophysical stochastic backgrounds

Enis Belgacem, Francesco Iacovelli, Michele Maggiore +2

We provide a detailed derivation of the spectral density of the stochastic background generated by the superposition of coalescing compact binaries. We show how the expression ofte…

Combining underground and on-surface third-generation gravitational-wave interferometers

Francesco Iacovelli, Enis Belgacem, Michele Maggiore +2

Recently, detailed studies have been made to compare the performance of the European next generation GW observatory Einstein Telescope (ET) in a single-site triangular configuratio…

Gravitational-wave observations and primordial black holes

Francesco Iacovelli, Michele Maggiore

Gravitational-wave observations have the potential of allowing the identification of a population of merging primordial black-hole binaries. We provide an overview of the capabilit…

Searching for Primordial Black Holes with the Einstein Telescope: impact of design and systematics

G. Franciolini, F. Iacovelli, M. Mancarella +3

Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) have recently attracted much attention as they may explain some of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observations and significantly contribute to the dark matter i…
