Detecting a relic background of scalar waves with LIGO
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the possible detection of a stochastic background of massive, nonrelativistic scalar particles, through the cross correlation of the two LIGO interferometers in the initial, enhanced and advanced configuration. If the frequency corresponding to the mass of the scalar field lies in the detector sensitivity band, and the non-relativistic branch of the spectrum gives a significant contribution to energy density required to close the Universe, we find that the scalar background can induce a non-negligible signal, in competition with a possible signal produced by a stochastic background of gravitational radiation.

متن کاملExact Analytic Spectrum of Relic Gravitational Waves in Accelerating Universe
An exact analytic calculation is presented for the spectrum of relic gravi-tational waves in the scenario of accelerating Universe Ω Λ + Ω m = 1. The spectrum formula contains explicitly the parameters of acceleration, inflation , reheating, and the (tensor/scalar) ratio, so that it can be employed for a variety of cosmological models. We find that the spectrum depends on the behavior of the pr...
متن کاملRelic Gravitational Waves and the Detection
As the “smoking-gun” evidence for inflation, the relic gravitational waves (RGW) have been studied by a lot of authors. Although, it hasn’t been detected until now, some constraints have been achieved by the observations. Future experiments for the RGW detection are mainly two kinds: the CMB (cosmic microwave background radiation) experiments and the laser interferometers. In this paper, we stu...

As the strong evidence for inflation, the relic gravitational waves (RGW) have been extensively studied. Although, it has not been detected, yet some constraints have been achieved by the observations.

متن کاملThe Constraints on the Relic Gravitational Waves By the Current and Future Observations
In this paper, by solving the inflationary flow equations, we study the constraints on the relic gravitational waves (RGW) from the observations at large scale, i.e. cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) and large scale structure (LSS), and those at small scale, i.e. the pulsar timing, LIGO, and big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). We find that the current constraints on the RGW from small sca...
