Gravitationally coupled scalar fields, originally introduced by Jordan, Brans and Dicke to account for a non constant gravitational coupling, are a prediction of many non-Einsteinian theories of gravity not excluding perturbative formulations of String Theory. In this paper, we compute the cross sections for scattering and absorption of scalar and tensor gravitational waves by a resonant-mass detector in the framework of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory. The results are then specialized to the case of a detector of spherical shape and shown to reproduce those obtained in General Relativity in a certain limit. Eventually we discuss the potential detectability of scalar waves emitted in a spherically symmetric gravitational collapse.

In this talk I review recent progresses in the detection of scalar gravitational waves. Furthermore, in the framework of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory, I compute the signal to noise ratio for a resonant mass detector of spherical shape and for binary
sources and collapsing stars. Finally I compare these results with those obtained from laser interferometers and from Einsteinian gravity.
The direct detection of gravitational waves crowns decades of efforts in the modelling of sources and of increasing detectors sensitivity. With future third-generation Earth-based detectors or space-based observatories, gravitational-wave astronomy w
ill be at its full bloom. Previously brushed-aside questions on environmental or other systematic effects in the generation and propagation of gravitational waves are now begging for a systematic treatment. Here, we study how electromagnetic and gravitational radiation is scattered by a binary system. Scattering cross-sections, resonances and the effect of an impinging wave on a gravitational-bound binary are worked out for the first time. The ratio between the scattered-wave amplitude and the incident wave can be of order $10^{-5}$ for known pulsars, bringing this into the realm of future gravitational-wave observatories. For currently realistic distribution of compact-object binaries, the interaction cross-section is too small to be of relevance.
The nature of dark matter remains unknown to date; several candidate particles are being considered in a dynamically changing research landscape. Scalar field dark matter is a prominent option that is being explored with precision instruments such as
atomic clocks and optical cavities. Here we report on the first direct search for scalar field dark matter utilising a gravitational-wave detector operating beyond the quantum shot-noise limit. We set new upper limits for the coupling constants of scalar field dark matter as a function of its mass by excluding the presence of signals that would be produced through the direct coupling of this dark matter to the beamsplitter of the GEO,600 interferometer. The new constraints improve upon bounds from previous direct searches by more than six orders of magnitude and are more stringent than limits obtained in tests of the equivalence principle by up to four orders of magnitude. Our work demonstrates that scalar field dark matter can be probed or constrained with direct searches using gravitational-wave detectors and highlights the potential of quantum-enhanced interferometry for dark matter detection.
The equations of a resonant sphere in interaction with $N$ secondary radial oscillators (transducers) on its surface have been found in the context of Lagrangian formalism. It has been shown the possibility to exert a veto against spurious events mea
suring the longitudinal component of a signal. Numerical simulations has been performed, which take into account thermal noise between resonators and the sphere surface, for a particular configuration of the transducers.
The gauge dependence of the scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) generated at the second order imposes a challenge to the discussion of the secondary gravitational waves generated by scalar perturbations. We provide a general formula that is va
lid in any gauge for the calculation of SIGWs and the relationship for SIGWs calculated in various gauges under the coordinate transformation. The formula relating SIGWs in the Newtonian gauge to other gauges is used to calculate SIGWs in six different gauges. We find that the Newtonian gauge, the uniform curvature gauge, the synchronous gauge and the uniform expansion gauge yield the same result for the energy density of SIGWs. We also identify and eliminate the pure gauge modes that exist in the synchronous gauge. In the total matter gauge and the comoving orthogonal gauge, the energy density of SIGWs increases as $eta^2$. While in the uniform density gauge, the energy density of SIGWs increases as $eta^6$.
