The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Einstein Telescope: a third-generation gravitational wave observatory (2010, background): “…currently hosting the initial GW detectors (and their limited upgrades, called ‘enhanced’ interferometers: eLIGO and Virgo+) a second generation of interferometers (so-called advanced detectors: ‘Advanced LIGO’ [5], ‘Advanced Virgo’ [6] and GEO-HF [3]) will be implemented over the next few years.”
Enhancing the sensitivity of the LIGO gravitational wave detector by using squeezed states of light (2013, background): “To achieve the same improvement, a 64% increase in the power stored in the arm cavities would have been necessary, but this power increase would be accompanied by the significant limitations of high power operation [15, 20].”
DOUBLE COMPACT OBJECTS. III. GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE DETECTION RATES (2015, positive): “The network S/N threshold of 10 would have yielded false alarm rates of roughly once per decade in 2009–2010 initial LIGO and Virgo data (see Figure 3 in Aasi et al. 2013b).”
