摘要:

这个地平线研究描述了下一代地基引力波天文台:宇宙探测器。宇宙探测器的灵敏度是先进LIGO的十倍,它将把引力波天文学推向可观测宇宙的边缘($z \sim 100$)。这个地平线研究的目标是描述和评估宇宙探索者的设计概念;计划美国在引力波天文学方面的领导地位;并设想宇宙探索者在国际努力中的作用,以建立一个“第三代”(3G)天文台网络,这将使天文学,物理学和宇宙学的发现发生变革。

英文摘要:

This Horizon Study describes a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory: Cosmic Explorer. With ten times the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, Cosmic Explorer will push gravitational-wave astronomy towards the edge of the observable universe ($z \sim 100$). The goals of this Horizon Study are to describe and evaluate design concepts for Cosmic Explorer; to plan for the United States' leadership in gravitational-wave astronomy; and to envisage the role of Cosmic Explorer in the international effort to build a "Third-Generation" (3G) observatory network that will make discoveries transformative across astronomy, physics, and cosmology.
