Signatures of the quantization of gravity at gravitational wave detectors

چکیده
We develop a formalism to calculate the response of model gravitational wave detector quantized field. Coupling quantum field induces stochastic fluctuations ("noise") in length arm. The statistical properties this noise depend on choice state characterize for vacuum, coherent, thermal, and squeezed states. For coherent states, corresponding classical configurations, we find that effect quantization is small. However, standard deviation arm can be enhanced -- possibly significantly when non-coherent state. detection fundamental could provide direct evidence gravity existence gravitons.

Human gravity-gradient noise in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
Among all forms of routine human activity, the one which produces the strongest gravity-gradient noise in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors ~e.g. LIGO! is the beginning and end of weight transfer from one foot to the other during walking. The beginning and end of weight transfer entail sharp changes ~time scale t;20 msec! in the horizontal jerk ~first time derivative of acceleration!...
متن کاملSeismic gravity-gradient noise in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
When ambient seismic waves pass near and under an interferometric gravitational-wave detector, they induce density perturbations in the Earth, which in turn produce fluctuating gravitational forces on the interferometer’s test masses. These forces mimic a stochastic background of gravitational waves and thus constitute a noise source. This seismic gravity-gradient noise has been estimated and d...
متن کاملSimulation of Gravitational Wave Detectors
A simulation program which provides insight in the vibrational properties of resonant mass gravitational radiation antennas is developed from scratch. The requirements that are set necessitate the use of an explicit nite element kernel. Since the computational complexity of this kernel requires signi cant computing power, it is tailored for execution on parallel computer systems. After validati...
متن کاملSpherical Gravitational Wave Detectors
Resonant bar gravitational wave detectors have improved greatly over the last 40 years but are currently completely outperformed by laser interferometer detectors. Spherical detector configuration has several advantages over conventional bar detectors and can be considered as the next generation of resonant gravitational wave antenna. In this report, I will give a brief introduction to gravitat...
متن کاملGravity wave signatures at mesopause heights
The ALOMAR SOUSY Radar operated at 53.5 MHz has been used in a five-beam configuration to study dynamical processes at gravity wave periods in the summer polar mesosphere. A case study of a gravity wave with a period of about 9 min is presented and analysed in some detail. The three-dimensional wave number vector is determined from the phase information of the 9-min velocity oscillations obtain...
