Gravitational-Wave Antenna Design to Detect Random Gravitational Waves

Journal Article · · Physical Review. D, Particles Fields
A design is proposed for an antenna system capable of detecting random gravitational waves and separating their effects from random fluctuating in the antenna. The strongest known signal should be the random signal from all of the binary stars in the galaxy. This design may allow one to penetrate the background noise of the Earth itself and recover this signal.
