Multiple mode gravitational wave detection with a spherical antenna
Apart from omnidirectional, a solid elastic sphere is a natural multimode and multifrequency device for the detection of Gravitational Waves (GW). Motion sensing in a spherical GW detector thus requires a multiple set of transducers attached to it at suitable locations. Resonant transducers exert a significant back action on the larger sphere, and as a consequence the joint dynamics of the enti...
متن کاملSpherical Gravitational Wave Detectors
Resonant bar gravitational wave detectors have improved greatly over the last 40 years but are currently completely outperformed by laser interferometer detectors. Spherical detector configuration has several advantages over conventional bar detectors and can be considered as the next generation of resonant gravitational wave antenna. In this report, I will give a brief introduction to gravitat...
متن کاملCan we make sense of the data from a real spherical gravitational wave antenna?
We report the results of a theoretical and experimental study of a spherical gravitational wave antenna. We show that it is possible to understand the data from a spherical antenna with 6 radial resonant transducers attached to the surface even when asymmetries are introduced. An in situ measurement technique is developed along with a general algorithm that describes a procedure for determining...
متن کاملSolution to the inverse problem for a noisy spherical gravitational wave antenna
A spherical gravitational wave antenna is distinct from other types of gravitational wave antennas in that only a single detector is necessary to determine the direction and polarization of a gravitational wave. Zhou and Michelson showed that the inverse problem can be solved using the maximum likelihood method if the detector outputs are independent and have normally distributed noise with the...
متن کاملFake signals caused by heavy mass motions near a sensitive spherical gravitational wave antenna
This paper analyses in quantitative detail the effect caused by a moving mass on a spherical gravitational wave detector. This applies to situations where heavy traffic or similar disturbances happen near the GW antenna. Such disturbances result in quadrupole tidal stresses in the antenna mass, and they therefore precisely fake a real gravitational signal. The study shows that there always are ...
