Challenges and Opportunities of Gravitational Wave Searches above 10 kHz
Nancy Aggarwal, Odylio D. Aguiar, Diego Blas +34
The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges…
Photodiode quantum efficiency for 2-μm light in the signal band of gravitational wave detectors
Julian Gurs, Nils Sueltmann, Christian Darsow-Fromm +2
Quantum technologies with quantum correlated light require photodiodes with near-perfect `true' quantum efficiency, the definition of which adequately accounts for the photodiode d…
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…
Mechanical Characterisation of Silicon for the ETpathfinder Test Masses
Guido Alex Iandolo, Alex Amato, Gianpietro Cagnoli +7
The next generation of gravitational-wave detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope, is designed to reduce noise in a wide band of frequencies compared to the current generation, t…
