论文摘要
引力波提供了一种新颖而有力的方法，可以测试紧凑型物体的天体物理模型，早期宇宙过程，超越标准模型粒子物理，暗物质候选，爱因斯坦的一般相对论和扩展重力模型，甚至量子重力候选理论。引力波背景的简短介绍以及我们用于检测其的方法。将讨论对引力波背景的非可检测性的各种天体物理/宇宙学模型的约束。瞬态引力波将被突出显示，并将总结其物理意义。
Gravitational waves provide a novel and powerful way to test astrophysical models of compact objects, early universe processes, beyond the Standard Model particle physics, dark matter candidates, Einstein's theory of General Relativity and extended gravity models, and even quantum gravity candidate theories. A short introduction to the gravitational-wave background and the method we are using to detect it will be presented. Constraints on various astrophysical/cosmological models from the non-detectability of the gravitational-wave background will be discussed. Gravitational waves from transients will be highlighted and their physical implications will be summarised.
