Dyson Analysis of Graviton Production, Ligo, and the Gertsenshtein Effect

Authors: Andrew Beckwith

In a 2013 paper, Freeman Dyson presented thought experiments challenging the detectability of gravitons via LIGO interferometry and via the Gertsheshtein effect. Dyson assumed a distance of several light years would be required for detection of the interaction between gravitational waves (GWs) and tenuous B fields and photons, making gravitons experimentally unverifiable. In this paper, we present contrary theoretical evidence for detectability of near-field interaction of gravitons, photons, and a magnetic field. Our first example of 100% probability of the Gertshenshtein effect working is due to a GW generated by a Tokamak with a interaction of GW, B field, and photons, in a volume on the order of a few cubic meters. We furthermore outline how Dyson was giving misleading information on the efficiency of LIGO, which is inimical to that research initiative on gravitational wave still very pertinent to essential gravitational physics, via the interferometer arrays, which has been noted and corrected

Comments: 27 Pages. Re done title, and also the LIGO example was made the first case study. In addition, the materal was re formatted differently as to aid to easier reading of what was beforehand a squashed document.
