ET - the Einstein Telescope: a 3rd generation gravitational-wave observatory |
|
Abstract |
The sensitivity of the second generation of gravitational-wave detectors assures frquent detections of gravitational waves and will allow first steps into gravitational-wave astronomy with the observation of rare high Signal-to-Noise-Ratio events. To switch to frequent observation of high SNR signals, hence allow routine GW astronomy and expand the observation band into the very promising frequency range down to 1 Hz a Design study for ET´, the Einstein Telescope, has been started. The ET Design study is a European effort to elaborate a concept for an instrument yielding a 100-folg better sensitivity than current detectors. |
