The sensitivity of existing ground-based observatories to gravitational-wave signals is limited at low frequencies, particularly around 10 Hz. This limitation arises from several noise sources, including coupling between the mirror motion and other degrees of freedom, seismic noise, and thermal noise. The Einstein Telescope (ET) is a third-generation gravitational-wave detector aiming to...
