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 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…
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…
Analytical results for the power-law sensitivity curve of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds
Enis Belgacem
We derive analytically some general features of the power-law sensitivity curve. They include an exact parametric equation, a formula for the peak sensitivity and a proof of convex…
The Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna: Mission Studies and Science Case
Parameswaran Ajith, Pau Amaro Seoane, Manuel Arca Sedda +83
The Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna (LGWA) is a proposed array of next-generation inertial sensors to monitor the response of the Moon to gravitational waves (GWs). Given the size…
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…
