The Einstein Telescope (ET) is a proposed next-generation, underground gravitational-wave detector to be based in Europe. It will provide about an order of magnitude sensitivity increase with respect to the currently operating detectors and, also extend the observation band targeting frequencies as low as 3 Hz. One of the first decisions that needs to be made is about the future ET site following an in-depth site characterization. Site evaluation and selection is a complicated process, which takes into account science, financial, political, and socio-economic criteria. In this paper, we provide an overview of the site-selection criteria for ET, provide a formalism to evaluate the direct impact of environmental noise on ET sensitivity, and outline the necessary elements of a site-characterization campaign.

爱因斯坦望远镜的选址标准

爱因斯坦望远镜 (ET) 是提议的下一代地下引力波探测器，其基地设在欧洲。与当前运行的探测器相比，它将提供大约一个数量级的灵敏度增加，并且还将观测频带目标频率扩展到低至 3 Hz。需要做出的首要决定之一是在对站点进行深入描述之后关于未来的 ET 站点。场地评估和选择是一个复杂的过程，需要考虑科学、财务、政治和社会经济标准。在本文中，我们概述了 ET 的选址标准，提供了一种评估环境噪声对 ET 敏感性的直接影响的形式，并概述了选址活动的必要要素。
