Cylindrical versus Spherical Resonant Antennas for Gravitational Wave Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The principles and detection of gravitational waves by resonant antennas are briefly discussed. But the main purpose of this short note is to compare the two geometries of resonant antennas, the well-known cylindrical to the spherical type. Some features of a two sphere observatory are also discussed. [email protected] 1

Detectability of gravitational wave events by spherical resonant-mass antennas.
We report on results of computer simulations of spherical resonant{mass gravitational wave antennas interacting with high{frequency radiation from astronomical sources. The antennas were simulated with three{mode inductive transducers placed on the faces of a truncated icosahedron. Overall, the spheres were modeled with a sensitivity of about three times the standard quantum limit. The gravitat...
متن کاملFast Cooling Techniques for Gravitational Wave Antennas
The resonant-mass technique for the detection of Gravitational Waves may involve, in the near future, the cooling of very large masses (about 100 tons) from room temperature (300K) to extreme cryogenic temperatures (20mK). To cool these detectors down to cryogenic temperatures an exchange gas (helium) is used, and the heat is removed from the antenna to the cold reservoir by thermal conduction ...

The sensitivity of resonant-mass gravitational-wave antennas has now reached h 10 ?18 , where h is the dimensionless metric perturbation caused by the wave. In order to observe gravitational wave events such as coalescing neutron star binaries and colliding black holes from as far as the Virgo cluster of galaxies, the detector sensitivity must be improved by three orders of magnitude. With such...

متن کاملParticle acoustic detection in gravitational wave aluminum resonant antennas
The results on cosmic rays detected by the gravitational antenna NAUTILUS have motivated an experiment (RAP) based on a suspended cylindrical bar, which is made of the same aluminum alloy as NAUTILUS and is exposed to a high energy electron beam. Mechanical vibrations originate from the local thermal expansion caused by warming up due to the energy lost by particles crossing the material. The a...
