The strict analogy between scalar-tensor theories of gravity and high order gravity is well known in literature. In this paper it is shown that, from a particular high order gravity theory known in literature, it is possible to produce, in the linearized approach, particles which can be seen like massive scalar modes of gravitational waves and the response of interferometers to this type of particles is analyzed. The presence of the mass generates a longitudinal force in addition of the transverse one which is proper of the massless gravitational waves and the response of an arm of an interferometer to this longitudinal effect in the frame of a local observer is computed. This longitudinal response function is directly connected with the function of the Ricci scalar in the particular action of this high order theory. Important consequences from a theoretical point of view could arise from this approach, because it opens to the possibility of using the signals seen from interferometers to understand which the correct theory of gravitation is. NOTE: the paper from which the proposed talk arises has been accepted for Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics - pre-print on astro-ph/0703664.
