In this thesis we study how to measure the anisotropies of the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) with a network of ground-based detectors. In particular, we investigate how to correlate measurements at planned third-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, and a third generation of the LIGO detectors, to measure the coefficients of an expansion in spherical harmonics of the SGWB arriving from divergent directions of our sky. We also study the possibility of measuring different polarisations of the SGWB.

Abstract

In this thesis we study how to measure the anisotropies of the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) with a network of ground-based detectors. In particular, we investigate how to correlate measurements at planned third-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, and a third generation of the LIGO detectors, to measure the coefficients of an expansion in spherical harmonics of the SGWB arriving from divergent directions of our sky. We also study the possibility of measuring different polarisations of the SGWB.
