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).…”

The characterization of Virgo data and its impact on gravitational-wave searches by Barsotti, Lisa, Bodiya, Timothy P., Corbitt, Thomas R, Donovan, Frederick J, Dwyer, S., Evans, M., Foley, Stephany, Fritschel, Peter K., Katsavounidis, Erotokritos, Kissel, Jeffrey S., Kwee, Patrick, MacInnis, Myron E, Mason, Kenneth R, Matichard, Fabrice, Mavalvala, Nergis, Mittleman, Richard K, Oelker, Eric Glenn, Sankar, Shannon Reynier, Shapiro, B., Shoemaker, David H, Smith, Nicolas de Mateo, Vaulin, Ruslan, Waldman, Samuel J., Weiss, Rainer, Wipf, Christopher C., Zucker, Michael E

“…Between 2007 and 2010 Virgo collected data in coincidence with the LIGO and GEO gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These data have been searched for GWs emitted by cataclysmic phenomena in the universe, by non-axisymmetric rotating neutron stars or from a stochastic background in the frequency band of the detectors. …”
