- background As a result, the GW community is preparing the jump toward third-generation (3G) GW detectors, new observatories that are designed to detect GW sources along the cosmic history up to the early Universe. The 3G European observatory project is Einstein Telescope (ET) [10, 11], while the United States community effort is represented by the Cosmic Explorer (CE) project [12-14]. In recent years the ET project has undergone a significant acceleration, with the suc- cessful proposal in 2020 for includi
