Talk (main workshop)

Exploring the vast spectrum of high-frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs) will require a variety of experimental strategies. Among the most promising detectors are electromagnetic resonators like microwave cavities and lumped-element circuits placed in large electromagnetic fields. Such detectors will always respond electromagnetically (Gertsenshtein effect) and deform mechanically at the same...
