Testing General Relativity with Spherical Resonant Mass Detectors

<p> Gravitational waves in <i>f</i>(<i>R</i>) gravity excite monopole and m = 0&plusmn;2 quadrupole resonance modes of a spherical detector. This document reviews the basic ideas of general relativity and gravitational waves, and then applies those concepts to an &l...
