Gravitational wave detectors [PDF]
New 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.

Charge effects on gravitational wave detectors [PDF]
Physics 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 ...

Dielectric haloscopes as gravitational wave detectors
Physical Review DWe 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
Physics 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.

Low Temperature and Gravitation Wave Detectors
, 2014 The success of a precision experiment is often associated to the use of low temperature techniques. In particular, when the thermal noise is a barrier for improving the experiment sensitivity, the cryogenics is crucial for beating this limitation. This strategy was applied in the case of the resonant gravitational wave detectors (GW) and now it is ...

A REVIEW OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVE DETECTORS [PDF]
Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, 1997 ▪ Abstract This review is devoted to presenting the status of the experimental search of gravitational radiation. After a short history of the development of detectors, we present the state of the art for both resonant antennas and interferometers. The final section is devoted to possible future developments of both techniques.

Electromagnetic detector for gravitational waves [PDF]
Physics Letters A, 1978 Abstract We analyze the mode of operation of a two-level parametric electromagnetic detector for gravitational waves which is tunable and potentially more sensitive than the mechanical antennas currently considered.

Review of the Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Observatories Leading to Observing Run Four
Galaxies, 2022 Gravitational waves from binary black hole and neutron star mergers are being regularly detected. As of 2021, 90 confident gravitational wave detections have been made by the LIGO and Virgo detectors.
