Abstract

Stochasitc gravitational wave background (SGWB) is expected to be contributed by primordial sources (e.g. inflation signature) and astrophysical sources (e.g., incoherent superposition of a large numbers of compact binary inspirals throughout in the Universe). Theoretically, SGWB is predicted to span in a broad frequency range between less than nHz up to kHz. Many gravitational-wave (GW) detectors such as LIGO or LISA aim to detect or constrain SGWB in different frequency band that is most sensitive for each detector. In this talk, we focus on the prospectives of constraining the energy density of SGWB between 0.1-10 Hz. We introduce the characteristics of SGWB and representative models for primordial and astrophysical sources. Then, we propose a signal extraction scheme to detect SGWB using one or several omni-directional GW detectors such as SLGT(Superconducting Low-frequency Gravitational-wave Telescope). Considering SLGT sensitivity, we discuss how to observe SGWB in 0.1-10 Hz if we have SLGT network. Finally, we highlight interesting SGWB models that can be constrained in 0.1-10 Hz with SLGT.
