Italy, Netherlands, or Both? Study on Einstein Telescope Collaboration
The Dutch cabinet is exploring a joint detection facility with Italy for the Einstein Telescope, a gravitational wave observatory, adding to previous bids by South Limburg, Sardinia, and Saxony. This collaboration involves two L-shaped detectors, potentially located in the Euregio Maas-Rijn region and Italy, to improve directional accuracy of gravitational wave measurements. The project, costing at least 2.3 billion euros, aims to measure over 100,000 signals annually and create hundreds of jobs, with a final decision expected next year among ten European nations.
