Measuring the effects of the magnetic-like part of gravitational waves on spinning particles

Abstract

The recent observations of gravitational waves provide further tests of Einstein's theory. Nevertheless, it is worth emphasizing that the interferometers have observed only the electric-like part of the gravitational field of the waves, which has also a magnetic-like part that induces effects on mass current or spinning particles. Here, we discuss the possibility of observing the effects of gravitational waves on spinning test particles, focusing on the relative precession of two spins. Eventually, we suggest some possible experimental setups to detect these effects.
