Description

In this work, we use the coherent WaveBurst 2G (cWB-2G) search pipeline in the context of the Einstein Telescope (ET). cWB-2G is a well-established, unmodeled algorithm and one of the main pipelines for the detection and reconstruction of transient gravitational-wave signals in current-generation detectors.
The main goal of this study is the search for and characterization of burst-like signals from binary black hole (BBH) coalescences with very low merger frequencies. To this purpose, we simulate BBH signals and inject them into ET sensitivity curves that incorporate realistic noise features associated with candidate detector sites. This represents a first attempt to explore the impact of site-dependent noise conditions on the detection and reconstruction capabilities of the pipeline.
We produce a simulated dataset spanning approximately one month, including about 5000 BBH signals injected into Gaussian noise representative of ET sensitivity, with configurations that account for environmental noise contributions. This setup allows for a preliminary characterization of the pipeline performance under different noise realizations.
