第二代引力波（GW）探测器正在世界各地建造和调试。对双黑洞信号的探测开始实现GW天文学的承诺。在这项工作中，我们研究了几种可能的配置在现有的公里级设施的第三代激光干涉仪。我们提出了一套天体物理动机的指标来评估检测器的性能。我们衡量探测器设计选择对这些指标的影响，提供了一个定量的成本效益分析所产生的科学回报。
The second generation of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors are being built and tuned all over the world. The detection of signals from binary black holes is beginning to fulfil the promise of GW astronomy. In this work, we examine several possible configurations for third-generation laser interferometers in existing km-scale facilities. We propose a set of astrophysically motivated metrics to evaluate detector performance. We measure the impact of detector design choices against these metrics, providing a quantitative cost-benefit analyses of the resulting scientific payoffs.
