Description

The triangular geometry of the Einstein Telescope is unique among proposed gravitational-wave observatory designs in that it enables the construction of a sky-position-independent null stream: a linear combination of the three co-located detector outputs that is identically insensitive to gravitational-wave signals. This property unlocks a broad range of scientific and data-analysis capabilities, encompassing detector self-calibration and data deglitching, with direct implications for precision science in the Einstein Telescope era. In this talk, we survey these capabilities and discuss their impact on the Einstein Telescope science programme.
