Scientific paper

The paper examines the origin and results of a cosmological background of gravitational radiation. This background might be primordial, meaning it goes back to the start of the universe or was produced by quantum processes at the Planck time; on the other hand, it may have been generated at some finite time in the past by the formation of black holes. Cosmological gravitational waves can be described by their density and a characteristic period, in which case these parameters uniquely determine their cosmological effects and observational consequences. Observational limits on the spectrum of primordial waves are reviewed, noting that the most stringent limits results from cosmological nucleosynthesis.
