Snowmass2021宇宙前沿白皮书：未来的引力波探测器设施
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Future Gravitational-Wave Detector Facilities
摘要：
下一代引力波天文台可以探索整个宇宙历史中的广泛的基本物理现象。这些现象包括进入整个宇宙时间的宇宙二元黑洞种群，进入独立于宇宙距离阶梯的宇宙膨胀历史，进入早期宇宙相变的随机引力波，进入强场和高速极限的扭曲时空，进入中子星和合并后密度的核物质状态方程，以及通过它们在极端天体物理环境中的相互作用或它们与探测器本身的相互作用而与暗物质候选物相关联。我们提出的引力波探测器的概念，可以驱动未来的引力波天体物理学。我们总结了必要技术的现状，以及在21世纪30年代建立这些天文台所需的研究。
英文摘要：
The next generation of gravitational-wave observatories can explore a wide range of fundamental physics phenomena throughout the history of the universe. These phenomena include access to the universe's binary black hole population throughout cosmic time, to the universe's expansion history independent of the cosmic distance ladders, to stochastic gravitational-waves from early-universe phase transitions, to warped space-time in the strong-field and high-velocity limit, to the equation of state of nuclear matter at neutron star and post-merger densities, and to dark matter candidates through their interaction in extreme astrophysical environments or their interaction with the detector itself. We present the gravitational-wave detector concepts than can drive the future of gravitational-wave astrophysics. We summarize the status of the necessary technology, and the research needed to be able to build these observatories in the 2030s.
