Prospects for observing and localizing gravitational-wave transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2018
We present possible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger ...

Testing General Relativity with Low-Frequency, Space-Based Gravitational-Wave Detectors [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2013
We review the tests of general relativity that will become possible with space-based gravitational-wave detectors operating in the ∼ 10^{-5} – 1 Hz low-frequency band.

Squeezing in Gravitational Wave Detectors

open access: yesGalaxies, 2022
Injecting optical squeezed states of light, a technique known as squeezing, is now a tool for gravitational wave detection. Its ability to reduce quantum noise is helping to reveal more gravitational wave transients, expanding the catalog of observations

Gravitational wave detectors [PDF]

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2005
The existence of gravitational radiation is a prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Gravitational waves are perturbations in the curvature of spacetime caused by accelerated masses. Since the 1960s gravitational wave detectors have been built and constantly improved.

Quantum Measurement Theory in Gravitational-Wave Detectors [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2012
The fast progress in improving the sensitivity of the gravitational-wave detectors, we all have witnessed in the recent years, has propelled the scientific community to the point at which quantum behavior of such immense measurement devices as kilometer ...

Charge effects on gravitational wave detectors [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Letters A, 2001
We show that the mean-square displacement of a charged oscillator due to the zero point oscillations of the radiation field is unique in the sense that it is very sensitive to the value of the bare mass of the charge. Thus, a controlled experiment using gravitational wave detectors could lead to a determination of the electron bare mass and shed some ...

Applications of machine learning in gravitational-wave research with current interferometric detectors

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity
This article provides an overview of the current state of machine learning in gravitational-wave research with interferometric detectors. Such applications are often still in their early days, but have reached sufficient popularity to warrant an ...

Dielectric haloscopes as gravitational wave detectors

open access: yesPhysical Review D
We argue that dielectric haloscopes like MADMAX, originally designed for detecting axion dark matter, are also very promising gravitational wave detectors. Operated in resonant mode at frequencies around O(10  GHz), these detectors benefit from enhanced gravitational wave to photon conversion at the surfaces of a stack of thin dielectric disks.

The string soundscape at gravitational wave detectors

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2018
We argue that gravitational wave signals due to collisions of ultra-relativistic bubble walls may be common in string theory. This occurs due to a process of post-inflationary vacuum decay via quantum tunnelling.
