If the frequency corresponding to the mass of the scalar eld lies in the detector sensitivity band, and the non-relativistic branch of the spectrum gives a signi cant contribution to energy density required to close the Universe, we nd that the scalar background can induce a non-negligible signal, in competition with a possible signal produced by a stochastic background of gravitational radiation.

Detecting a relic background of scalar waves with LIGO

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 contr...

On the Response of Gravitational Antennas to Dilatonic Waves Typeset Using Revt E X

It is pointed out that the coupling of macroscopic test masses to the gravi-dilaton background of string theory is non geodesic, in general, and cannot be parametrized by a Brans-Dicke model of scalar-tensor gravity. The response of gravitational antennas to dilatonic waves should be analyzed through a generalized equation of geodesic deviation, taking into account the possible direct coupling ...

Exact 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...

Searching for Non-minimally Coupled Scalar Hairs Typeset Using Revt E X

In this work we study the asymptotically at, static, and spherically symmetric black-hole solutions of the theory described by the action o ; with n > 3 and arbitrary. We demonstrate the absence of scalar hairs for < 0. For > c = n?2 4(n?1) , we show that there is no scalar hair obeying j(r)j < 1= p or j(r)j > 1= p. For 0 < < c , we prove the absence of scalar hairs such that j(r)j < 1= p or 1 ...

Relic 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...
