We make forecasts for the impact a future "midband" space-based gravitational wave experiment, most sensitive to $10^{-2}- 10$ Hz, could have on potential detections of cosmological stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds (SGWBs). Specific proposed midband experiments considered are TianGo, B-DECIGO and AEDGE. We propose a combined power-law integrated sensitivity (CPLS) curve combining GW experiments over different frequency bands, which shows the midband improves sensitivity to SGWBs by up… Expand

The statistically optimal search strategy is derived (producing minimum credible intervals) for a background of unresolved binaries and this framework independently constrains the merger rate and black hole mass distribution, breaking a degeneracy present in the cross-correlation approach. Expand
