Gravitational wave detector with cosmological reach by Dwyer, Sheila Elizabeth, Sigg, Daniel, Ballmer, Stefan W., Barsotti, Lisa, Mavalvala, Nergis, Evans, Matthew J

“…Since the major noise sources that limit gravitational wave detectors do not scale trivially with the length of the detector, we study their impact and find that 40 km arm lengths are nearly optimal, and can incorporate currently available technologies to detect gravitational wave sources at cosmological distances (z ≳ 7).…”
