A gravitational wave window on extra dimensions

Abstract: We report on the possibility of detecting a submillimetre-sized extra dimension by observing gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by pointlike objects orbiting a braneworld black hole. Matter in the 'visible' universe can generate a discrete spectrum of high frequency GWs with amplitudes moderately weaker than the predictions of general relativity (GR), while GW signals generated by matter on a 'shadow' brane hidden in the bulk are potentially strong enough to be detected using current technology. We know of no o… Show more

“…It is worthy to mention the cosmological GWs expected by the brane oscillation scenarios in extra dimensions [42,43]. Frequencies of these GWs can be expended to the THz band from the mHz, and the amplitude of the GWs in the GHz band might reach up to h ∼ 10 −24 to 10 −21 .…”

“…For the whole observation time, we can detect the average effect of such sources through the similar reasoning. Even if we consider a conservative condition (i.e., h ∼ 10 −24 , ν = 2.9 GHz [42]), the PPF can reach up to ∼ 10 8 s −1 and minimal accumulation time of signal can be reduced to ∼ 10 4 second. This is satisfactory (see Eq.…”

“…There are four kind of potential GW sources in the very high frequency and ultrahigh frequency bands: 39 (i) Discrete sources; 173 (ii) Cosmological sources; 174 (iii) Brane-world Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode radiation; 175,176 (iv) Plasma instabilities. 177 In general, objects do not radiate efficiently at wavelengths very different from their size.…”

“…It would be interesting and perhaps useful to compare this with the predictions given by Abbot [56]a s well as the revising the issue which is brought up by reference [57]. Keep in mind as well that there has been recent confirmation by Abbot [58] as to the existence of gravitational waves, which further extends what was brought up by Abbot, et al…”
