TL;DR: The LISA Consortium as mentioned in this paper proposed a 4-year mission in response to ESA's call for missions for L3, which is an all-sky monitor and will offer a wide view of a dynamic cosmos using Gravitational Waves as new and unique messengers to unveil The Gravitational Universe.

TL;DR: The New Gravitational-Wave Observatory (NGO) as discussed by the authors, a mission under study by the European Space Agency for launch in the early 2020s, will survey the low-frequency gravitational wave sky (from 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz), detecting and characterizing a broad variety of systems and events throughout the Universe, including the coalescences of massive black holes brought together by galaxy mergers, the inspirals of stellar-mass black holes and compact stars into central galactic black holes; several millions of ultra-compact binaries, both detached and mass transferring, in

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review several cosmological backgrounds of gravitational waves accessible to direct-detection experiments, with a special emphasis on those backgrounds due to first-order phase transitions and networks of cosmic (super-)strings.

TL;DR: The European New Gravitational wave Observatory (eLISA) as discussed by the authors is the first mission to survey the low-frequency gravitational wave band (about 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz), with sufficient sensitivity to detect interesting individual astrophysical sources out to z = 15.

TL;DR: In this article, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with a gauged family-dependent U(1) was augmented with an extra chiral electroweak singlet field.
