The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy. There is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detectors that operate in a frequency range from 1 Hz to 10 kHz, with sensitivity a factor 10 better in amplitude. Such detectors will be able to probe a range of topics in nuclear physics, astronomy, cosmology and fundamental physics, providing insights into many unsolved problems in these areas.

On the estimation of gravitational wave spectrum from cosmic domain walls (2013, background): “Figure 7 shows schematics for the spectrum of gravitational waves produced by domain walls in comparison with sensitivities of planned detectors such as (Advanced) LIGO [17], ET [21], LISA [24], and Ultimate DECIGO [22, 23].”
Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (2013, background): “Finally, further upgrades to the LIGO and Virgo detectors, within their existing facilities (e.g., [63, 78, 11]) as well as future underground detectors (for example, the Einstein Telescope [94]) are envisioned in the future.”
Dark, cold, and noisy: constraining secluded hidden sectors with gravitational waves (2018, methodology): “We assume tobs = 4 yrs for all space-based experiments, as proposed for LISA [67] and B-DECIGO [93], and tobs = 5 yrs for ET [66].”
Science with the space-based interferometer LISA. IV: probing inflation with gravitational waves (2016, background): “In the coming years, many astrophysical sources are expected to be detected by LIGO and other planned detectors, like Advanced VIRGO [4], KAGRA [5], and eventually LIGO-India [6] and Einstein Telescope (ET) [7].”
Gravitational Radiation Detection with Laser Interferometry (2013, background): “A combination of astrophysical motivations and technical developments has driven the European design of the Einstein Telescope (Einstein Telescope Science Team, 2011; Sathyaprakash et al. , 2012).”
Proposal for gravitational-wave detection beyond the standard quantum limit through EPR entanglement (2016, background): “This will eventually allow us to observe all BBH mergers that take place in the universe, thereby inform on the formation mechanism of BBH, the evolution of the universe [5, 7], and the way gravitational waves propagate through the universe [8, 9].”
