Stochastic GW Backgrounds and Ground Based Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
The interplay between different ground based detectors and stochastic backgrounds of relic GW is described. A simultaneous detection of GW in the kHz and in the MHz–GHz region can point towards a cosmological nature of the signal. The sensitivity of a pair of VIRGO detectors to string cosmological models is presented. The implications of microwave cavities for stochastic GW backgrounds are discussed.

Primordial Magnetic Fields and Stochastic GW Backgrounds
Operating resonant mass detectors set interesting bounds on diffused backgrounds of gravitational radiation and in the next five years the wide-band interferometers will also look for stochastic sources. In this lecture the interplay among relic GW backgrounds and large scale magnetic fields will be discussed. Magnetic fields may significantly affect the thermal history of the Universe in parti...
متن کاملStochastic backgrounds of gravitational waves and spherical detectors
The analysis of how a stochastic background of gravitational radiation interacts with a spherical detector is given in detail, which leads to explicit expressions for the system response functions, as well as for the cross-correlation matrix of different readout channels. It is shown that distinctive features of GW induced random detector excitations, relative to locally generated noise, are in...
متن کاملTowards the first search for a stochastic background in LIGO data: applications of signal simulations
We describe the utility of simulated-signal injection studies on earth-based gravitational-wave (GW) interferometric data toward obtaining bounds on the strength of a stochastic GW background. The existence of such a background today is predicted by several cosmological models, but with varying strengths and power spectra. Earth-based detectors, such as LIGO, will eventually achieve enough sens...
متن کاملSensitivity of a VIRGO Pair to Relic GW Backgrounds
The sensitivity of a pair of VIRGO interferometers to gravitational waves backgrounds (GW) of cosmological origin is analyzed for the cases of maximal and minimal overlap of the two detectors. The improvements in the detectability prospects of scale-invariant and non-scaleinvariant logarithmic energy spectra of relic GW are discussed. Class. Quantum Grav. 17 (2000) 2621-2633
متن کاملStochastic background of gravitational waves generated by pre-galactic black holes
In this work, we consider the stochastic background of gravitational waves (SBGWs) produced by pre-galactic stars, which form black holes in scenarios of structure formation. The calculation is performed in the framework of hierarchical structure formation using a Press-Schechter-like formalism. Our model reproduces the observed star formation rate at redshifts z . 6.5. The signal predicted in ...
