One of the core tasks of the ET design study team, worked out maily by the WP3, is to provide snapshots of the ongoing analyses of the potential ET sensitivity options. This webpage contains such preliminary, but well documented sensitivity options that evolved from the ET design study activities. Below you can find download links for:
- plots of sensitivity curves
- date files for the sensitivity curves
- and references to the respective documentation
If you have questions regarding this page, please contact Stefan Hild or Andreas Freise for more information.

Data files
The sensitivity data can be downloaded as ASCII format (*.txt) or Matlab workspace (*.mat):
| Curve Model | txt file | Matlab workspace |
| ET_B | download here | download here |
| ET_C | download here | download here |
Each file contains two data columns representing a frequency vector and the corresponding strain sensitivity as amplitude spectral density. The main design parameters considered for each of these sensitivity options can be found in the related documents (see refernce links below). However, it needs to be pointed out that in total a few hundreds of underlying design and material parameters contribute to the projected sensitivity curves. Therefore, please contact Stefan Hild or Andreas Freise for more detailed information.
