Abstract

We discuss the capability of a third-generation ground-based detector such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) to detect mergers of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) that may have formed through runaway stellar collisions in globular clusters. We find that detection rates of ∼ 500 events per year are plausible.1 Keywords: Gravitational waves; intermediate-mass black holes; the Einstein Telescope.
