The proposed project is designed to enable one of the most exciting and least studied components of the gravitational wave spectrum, the Astrophysical Gravitational wave Background (AGB), to be detected by Advanced LIGO. It will extend the Australia-US collaboration in Advanced LIGO to include modeling, simulation and detection methods of the AGB and the study of the optical noise in LIGO and Advanced LIGO type systems. In particular we plan to search for anomalous noise sources and, especially those arising in high optical power cavities that could limit detection of the AGB.

该项目旨在使高级LIGO能够探测到引力波谱中最令人兴奋和研究最少的组成部分之一，即天体物理引力波背景（AGB）。它将扩展澳大利亚和美国在先进LIGO方面的合作，包括AGB的建模，模拟和检测方法以及LIGO和先进LIGO类型系统中的光学噪声研究。特别是，我们计划寻找异常噪声源，特别是那些出现在高光功率腔，可能会限制检测的AGB。
