چکیده
Pairs of Planck-mass drops of superfluid helium coated by electrons (i.e., “Millikan oil drops”), when levitated in a superconducting magnetic trap, can be efficient quantum transducers between electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational (GR) radiation. This leads to the possibility of a Hertz-like experiment, in which EM waves are converted at the source into GR waves, and then back-converted at the receiver from GR waves back into EM waves. Detection of the gravity-wave analog of the cosmic microwave background using these drops can discriminate between various theories of the early Universe.

متن کاملExpected Coalescence Rates of Ns-ns Binaries for Laser Beam Interferometers Received Day Month Year Revised Day Month Year Communicated by Managing Editor
The coalescence rate of two neutron stars (NS) is revisited. For estimation of the number of bound NS-NS and the probability of their coalescence in a timescale τ , the galactic star formation history, directly derived from observations, and the evolution of massive stars are considered. The newly established galactic merging rate is (1.7 ± 1.0) × 10 −5 yr −1 , while the local merging rate, inc...
متن کاملDynamics of a Self–gravitating Magnetized Source. Received Day Month Year Revised Day Month Year Communicated by Managing Editor
We consider a magnetized degenerate gas of fermions as the matter source of a homogeneous but anisotropic Bianchi I spacetime with a Kasner–like metric. We examine the dynamics of this system by means of a qualitative and numerical study of Einstein-Maxwell field equations which reduce to a non–linear autonomous system. For all initial conditions and combinations of free parameters the gas evol...
متن کاملNew directions for gravity-wave physics via “Millikan oil drops”
Pairs of Planck-mass–scale drops of superfluid helium coated by electrons (i.e., “Millikan oil drops”), when levitated in the presence of strong magnetic fields and at low temperatures, can be efficient quantum transducers between electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational (GR) radiation. A Hertz-like experiment, in which EM waves are converted at the source into GR waves, and then back-converted a...
متن کاملStudy of the Quasi-isotropic Solution near the Cosmological Singularity in Presence of Bulk-viscosity Received Day Month Year Revised Day Month Year Communicated by Managing Editor
We analyze the dynamical behavior of a quasi-isotropic Universe in the presence of a cosmological fluid endowed with bulk viscosity. We express the viscosity coefficient as a power-law of the fluid energy density: ζ = ζ0 ǫs. Then we fix s = 1/2 as the only case in which viscosity plays a significant role in the singularity physics but does not dominate the Universe dynamics (as requested by its...
