B Will eLISA have the potential to detect early universe GWs?

Click For Summary
eLISA is expected to have the capability to detect gravitational waves (GWs) from the early universe, particularly by measuring the overall background of these waves. Its success hinges on achieving design sensitivity and effectively separating background signals from the gravitational wave background. The discussion highlights the distinction between stochastic backgrounds arising from quantum fluctuations and classical phenomena that produced gravitational waves in the early universe. Scientists are exploring ambitious models to better understand these early universe gravitational waves. Overall, eLISA's potential in this area could significantly advance our knowledge of cosmic events.

Gravitational waves from the early universe? The short answer is yes. It should, to some extent, be able to measure the overall background of gravitational waves in the universe. Provided it reaches its design sensitivity and the background signals can be effectively separated from the gravitational wave background.

the background signals being the stochastic background arising from quantum fluctuations?; modeled by quantum states and early universe gravitational waves refers to classical phenomena producing gravitational waves, but that occurred in the early universe? Or what are the usual terms used to distinguish early universe gravitational waves

many thanks
