چکیده
Since 1978 superconducting coupled cavities have been proposed as a sensitive detector of gravitational waves. The interaction of the gravitational wave with the cavity walls, and the resulting motion, induces the transition of some energy from an initially excited cavity mode to an empty one. The energy transfer is maximum when the frequency of the wave is equal to the frequency difference of the two cavity modes. In 1984 Reece, Reiner and Melissinos built a detector of the type proposed, and used it as a transducer of harmonic mechanical motion, achieving a sensitivity to fractional deformations of the order δx/x ≈ 10 −18. In this paper the working principles of the detector are discussed and the last experimental results summarized. New ideas for the development of a realistic gravitational waves detector are considered; the outline of a possible detector design and its expected sensitivity are also shown.

A space-based superconducting gravitational low-frequency wave detector is considered. Sensitivity of the detector is sufficient to use the detector as a partner of other contemporary low-frequency detectors like LIGO and LISA. This device can also be very useful for experimental study of other effects predicted by theories of gravitation.

It is shown that in the standard vacuum 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity there is a wormhole-like solution which look like a string attached to two D-branes. The asymptotical behaviour of the corresponding metric is investigated.

We present the Fourier Transform of the data output of gravitational wave laser in-terferometer for continuous gravitational wave. We have analysed the data set for one day observation time and our analysis is applicable for arbitrary location of detector and source. We have taken into account the effects arising due to rotational as well as orbital motions of earth.
