The explanation behind the phenomenon lies in the minuscule cross section of gravitons when interacting with matter.

Positioning this detector in a close orbit around a neutron star, a region of intense gravitational activity, would theoretically enhance detection probabilities.

Even in such an optimal setup, the detector would only observe one graviton every decade.
