摘要:

在四维引力的广义度规理论中,除了广义相对论中的两个张量模式外,还允许引力波有六种偏振:两种标量模式和两种矢量模式。这种额外的偏振模式出现是由于在修正的引力理论或额外维度的理论中有额外的自由度。因此,观测到的引力波可以用来约束引力的扩展模型。在本文中,我们调查的附加偏振模式的引力波,特别是专注于一个随机的引力波的背景下,在地球上的激光干涉探测器的可探测性。我们发现多个探测器可以分离探测器输出中的偏振模式的混合,并且它们对随机引力波背景的每个偏振模式具有几乎相同的灵敏度。

英文摘要:

In a general metric theory of gravitation in four dimensions, six polarizations of a gravitational wave are allowed: two scalar and two vector modes, in addition to two tensor modes in general relativity. Such additional polarization modes appear due to additional degrees of freedom in modified theories of gravitation or theories with extra dimensions. Thus, observations of gravitational waves can be utilized to constrain the extended models of gravitation. In this paper, we investigate detectability of additional polarization modes of gravitational waves, particularly focusing on a stochastic gravitational-wave background, with laser-interferometric detectors on the Earth. We found that multiple detectors can separate the mixture of polarization modes in detector outputs, and that they have almost the same sensitivity to each polarization mode of stochastic gravitational-wave background.
