Abstract
To deliver on the promise of next generation gravitational-wave observatories, a sustained and coordinated detector research and development program is required. This report examines in detail the wide range of nearer- and longer-term detector R&D programs needed for next generation GW detectors commensurate with the key science targets presented in "The Next Generation Global Gravitational Wave Observatory: The Science Book", including considerations of site selection and large-scale vacuum infrastructure. The report makes a series of detailed recommendations on the needed advances in detector technology and the timescales needed to achieve those advances. It also identifies areas where larger-scale globally coordinated R&D efforts will be critical to ensuring success while minimizing costs. This report is the third in a six part series of reports by the GWIC 3G Subcommittee: i) Expanding the Reach of Gravitational Wave Observatories to the Edge of the Universe, ii) The Next Generation Global Gravitational Wave Observatory: The Science Book, iii) 3G R&D: R&D for the Next Generation of Ground-based Gravitational Wave Detectors (this report), iv) Gravitational Wave Data Analysis: Computing Challenges in the 3G Era, v) Future Ground-based Gravitational-wave Observatories: Synergies with Other Scientific Communities, and vi) An Exploration of Possible Governance Models for the Future Global Gravitational-Wave Observatory Network.
