The Einstein Telescope: a third-generation gravitational wave observatory

M. Punturo, +134 more
TL;DR: The third-generation ground-based observatory Einstein Telescope (ET) project as discussed by the authors is currently in its design study phase, and it can be seen as the first step in this direction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictions for the rates of compact binary coalescences observable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors

J. Abadie, +722 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Kalogera et al. presented an up-to-date summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the initial and advanced versions of the ground-based gravitational-wave detectors LIGO and Virgo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictions for the Rates of Compact Binary Coalescences Observable by Ground-based Gravitational-wave Detectors

J. Abadie, +709 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an up-to-date summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the Initial and Advanced versions of the ground-based LIGO and Virgo Astrophysical estimates for compact-binary coalescence rates depend on a number of assumptions and unknown model parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferometer design of the KAGRA gravitational wave detector

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the detailed design of the KAGRA interferometer as well as the reasoning behind the design choices, including the length and alignment sensing schemes for the robust control of the inter-ferometer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detector configuration of KAGRA: The Japanese cryogenic gravitational-wave detector

TL;DR: In this article, the second-generation gravitational-wave detector KAGRA (previously called LCGT) has been constructed and the entire 3 km long detector is located in the underground to be isolated from the seismic motion.
