Scientific paper

Some fundamentals relating to the generation and detection of gravitational radiation and to sources of gravitational radiation are examined. The program at Stanford University to develop an ultra-low temperature (4 K) gravitational wave detector which could possibly offer an improvement in sensitivity of one million over the Weber-type detector is described. The Stanford antenna, now in operation, is a 1400 lb cylindrical aluminum bar cooled by liquid helium. The possible use of magnetic levitation to isolate the antenna from the laboratory is discussed, as is the use of a SQUID magnetometer amplifier for the detector.
