Searching for Technosignatures: Implications of Detection and Non-Detection
Abstract
The search for technosignatures from the Galaxy or the nearby universe raises two main questions: What are the possible characteristics of technosignatures? and How can future searches be optimized to enhance the probability of detection? Addressing these questions requires an interdisciplinary approach, which is described in this white paper.
