A M\"ossbauer Scheme to Probe Gravitational Waves
Abstract
Under the local gravitational field, perturbations from high-frequency gravitational waves can cause a vertical shift of the M\"ossbauer resonance height. Considering a stationary scheme with the 109Ag isotope, we demonstrate that the extremely high precision of M\"ossbauer resonance allows for competitive gravitational wave sensitivity from KHz up to above MHz frequencies. M\"ossbauer resonance can offer a novel and small-sized alternative in the quest of multi-band gravitational wave searches. The presence of the static gravitational field plays essential role in the detection mechanism, isotope selection and sensitivity forecast. The proposed stationary scheme's sensitivity has the potential of significant improvement in a low-gravity environment.
