Description

Under the local gravitational field, perturbations from gravitational waves can cause a vertical shift of the Mossbauer resonance height. Considering a stationary scheme with the Ag-109 isotope, we demonstrate that the extremely high frequency precision in Mossbauer resonance allows for competitive gravitational wave sensitivity from KHz up to above MHz frequencies. Mossbauer resonance can offer a novel and small-sized alternative in the quest of multi-band gravitational wave searches, with potential to measure gravitational wave direction and polarization at high precision. Meanwhile, this setup is also sensitive to wavelike axion particle that can perturbate neuclon binding energy level.
