Abstract

Superconducting cavities can operate analogously to Weber bar detectors of gravitational waves, converting mechanical to electromagnetic energy. The significantly reduced electromagnetic noise results in increased sensitivity to high-frequency signals well outside the bandwidth of the lowest mechanical resonance. In this work, we revisit such signals of gravitational waves and demonstrate that a setup similar to the existing MAGO prototype, operating in a scanning or broadband manner, could have sensitivity to strains of ∼10-22−10-18 for frequencies of ∼10  kHz–1  GHz.
