Next Generation Observatories -- Report from the Dawn VI Workshop; October 5-7 2021
D. H. Shoemaker, Stefan Ballmer, Matteo Barsuglia +33
The workshop Dawn VI: Next Generation Observatories took place online over three days, 5-7 October, 2021. More than 200 physicists and astronomers attended to contribute to, and le…
A Horizon Study for Cosmic Explorer: Science, Observatories, and Community
Matthew Evans, Rana X Adhikari, Chaitanya Afle +29
This Horizon Study describes a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory: Cosmic Explorer. With ten times the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, Cosmic Explorer will p…
Point absorbers in Advanced LIGO
Aidan F. Brooks, Gabriele Vajente, Hiro Yamamoto +198
Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nano-meter scale thermo-elastic deformations a…
Gravitational-wave physics with Cosmic Explorer: limits to low-frequency sensitivity
Evan D. Hall, Kevin Kuns, Joshua R. Smith +17
Cosmic Explorer (CE) is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory concept, envisioned to begin operation in the 2030s, and expected to be capable of observing b…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
Cosmic Explorer: The U.S. Contribution to Gravitational-Wave Astronomy beyond LIGO
David Reitze, Rana X Adhikari, Stefan Ballmer +21
This white paper describes the research and development needed over the next decade to realize "Cosmic Explorer," the U.S. node of a future third-generation detector network that w…
