We investigate detection prospects of the gravitational-wave background (GWB) that originates from the merging of compact objects formed by the collapse of population III stars. Younger population I/II stars lead to a GWB in the LIGO/Virgo frequency band at the inspiral phase, while population III stars would likely show up at the later merger and ringdown phases. We show that, using a network of third-generation detectors, we may be able to separate a population I/II signal from a population III one, provided we can subtract individual coalescence events. A detection of a population III GWB could reveal important information, such as the average redshifted total mass.

    No gravitational-wave background is detected in O1-O4a data; the new CBC-spectrum limit Ω_GW(25 Hz) = 2.0×10^-9 (95%) is 1.7x tighter and remains roughly 2-3x above the GWTC-4-predicted astrophysical background of 0.9×10^-9.
