Gravitational-radiation production using nuclear explosions

  • 1. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, University of California, Livermore, California 94550

Description

It is shown that it may be possible to produce gavitational-radiation powers in excess of 1 erg/sec with modest-sized nuclear explosions. The gravitational-radiation intensity near the explosion may be sufficiently high to be detectable, permitting general-relativity experiments to be conducted in terrestrial environments.
