Scientific paper

Resonant detectors have been, and still are, the most sensitive detectors of gravitational waves. The International Gravitational Event Collaboration (IGEC) has set the most stringent upper limits for high frequency gravitational wave flux to date. However interferometers are about to surpass them in raw sensitivity. There are new applications and facilities which still make resonant detectors useful instruments, even while interferometers are operating. Spherical omnidirectional detectors are being constructed in Brazil, Italy and the Netherlands. New superconducting amplifiers promise to improve the current sensitivity by another order of magnitude. Measurements of high frequency stochastic background radiation are underway in collaborations between resonant detectors and interferometers. The latest available results will be presented.
