The effects of gravitational waves on a superconducting antenna and its sensitivity

In this paper the authors propose a set of generalized London equations which can describe the effects of gravitational waves on a superconducting antenna. He points out that a superconducting antenna with large quality factor Q will behave differently from a normal antenna, especially in the resona...

Summary:In this paper the authors propose a set of generalized London equations which can describe the effects of gravitational waves on a superconducting antenna. He points out that a superconducting antenna with large quality factor Q will behave differently from a normal antenna, especially in the resonant case. The expression of the signal-to-noise ratio for a superconducting antenna is derived.
