Abstract

The intermediate Gravitation Wave (GW) frequency detection band, i. e. the frequency region that is in between those accessible by space-based interferometers with million-kilometer armlengths and ground-based detectors, could be unveiled relatively soon. A space-based GW interferometer of arm-length equal to about 100,000 km would achieve an optimal sensitivity within an observational frequency band that is "blue-shifted" with respect to those of the LISA and TaiJi missions by about a factor 30. By opening the mid-band GW frequency region, such a mission would complement the scientific capabilities of both ground- and million-kilometer arm-length detectors and provide an enhanced scientific return over those obtainable by each detector operated as stand-alone.
