Exploring the gravitational universe with the Einstein Telescope

Following the breakthrough discoveries of the laser-interferometric detectors Advanced Virgo and Advanced LIGO over the past years, the era of gravitational-wave astronomy has started. The Einstein Telescope (ET) is a proposed ground-based infrastructure to host a new-generation, gravitational-wave observatory. Building on the achievements of the previous infrastructure, the ET project aims to significantly improve current sensitivities by increasing the size of the interferometer and by exploiting new technologies. In order to reach its full potential, the interferometer has to be built underground in low seismicity and low anthropic noise region, and the Sos Enattos (Lula, NU) area in Sardinia is what the Italian community proposes as an outstanding candidate to host it. An overview of the scientific reach and technological innovations of the ET project will be presented, including a summary of the ongoing activities at the Sos Enattos site.
