The effect of the cosmic ray interaction in the masses of an interferometric antenna for gravitational wave (GW) detection is evaluated. In a 3 km antenna this background, mainly due to muons gives a limit, for 1 ms GW pulses, of h~8.5×10-23 with a frequency of 2×10-1 events/year and 8.5×10-26 with 4.1×10-6 events/year. For GW having frequency>10 Hz the sensitivity limit is h~1.7×10-31. This background seems to allow unshielded operation of the interferometer test masses.
