Description
I will describe a proposal to search for gravitational waves (GWs) lying at kHz-MHz frequencies, just outside of the LIGO band. I will introduce how quantum noise limits the sensitivity of opto- and magnetomechanical GW detectors, and explain how a table-top magnetomechanical device can have lower quantum noise at high frequencies than an optomechanical laser interferometer. Such a sensor may have broadband sensitivity to high-frequency GWs produced by a variety of SM and BSM scenarios.
