Review of the Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Observatories Leading to Observing Run Four

Abstract: Gravitational waves from binary black hole and neutron star mergers are being regularly detected. As of 2021, 90 confident gravitational wave detections have been made by the LIGO and Virgo detectors. Work is ongoing to further increase the sensitivity of the detectors for the fourth observing run, including installing some of the A+ upgrades designed to lower the fundamental noise that limits the sensitivity to gravitational waves. In this review, we will provide an overview of the LIGO detectors optical conf… Show more

“…This impact will increase as detector sensitivity improves and new facilities are invented to detect more different types of events. Soon, when people master the technology of gravitational waves, they can observe the entire universe at once, watching a merger or explosion happen in real-time eagerly listening [9,10]. Moreover, humans will also find much new matter, as well as dark matter and dark energy, which have been bothering people for a long time.…”

“…A uniform likelihood for the peak of the power spectrum in the restricted range P R (k) ≥ 10 −3 , namely the threshold to form PBHs, and zero likelihood for the peak falling below this. For comparison, we also plot the power-law integrated sensitivity curves for LIGO A+ [129], LISA [128], ET [53], and DECIGO [55,130].…”

“…Despite these differences, none of the detectors can be built without proper technology, location, and enough fund supported, in fact, several detectors who are competent in such large-scale observations includes LIGO, LISA, Virgo, KAGRA, Cosmic Explorer (CE), Einstein Telescope (ET), Tianqin, dark matter detectors DARWIN, ARGO, and DAMPE, neutrino detectors Hyper-Kamiokande, JUNO and DUNE, and also Chandra X-ray Observatory CXO. What's more, different network is also applied of certain detector, e.g., LIGO-Hanford (H), LIGO-Livingston (L), Hanford-Livingston-Virgo (HLV), Hanford-Livingston (HL), Hanford-Virgo (HV) and Livingston-Virgo (LV) [15]. With tench, as well as academic advancing, researchers have been trying to improve the instruments to allow for further observations, increasing in configurations, distances and precision than previously allowed.…”
