Prospects for Detecting Gravitational Waves at 5 Hz with Ground-Based Detectors

We propose an upgrade to Advanced LIGO (aLIGO), named LIGO-LF, that focuses on improving the sensitivity in the 5–30 Hz low-frequency band, and we explore the upgrade’s astrophysical applications. We present a comprehensive study of the detector’s technical noises and show that with technologies cur...
