High frequency gravitational waves generation in laser plasma interaction

TL;DR

This paper estimates the power and metric perturbation of gravitational waves produced during laser plasma interactions, concluding that their intensities are currently too weak for detection.

Contribution

It provides the first estimates of gravitational wave emissions from laser plasma interactions, highlighting their extremely low intensities with current detection technology.

Findings

Estimated gravitational wave power is very low.

Detected metric perturbations are below current instrument sensitivity.

Laser plasma interactions are unlikely to produce detectable gravitational waves now.

Abstract

Estimates of the emitted power and the metric perturbation of the gravitational waves generated in laser plasma interaction are performed. The expected intensities are too low to be detected with the present day instruments.
