Exploration to early universe by Josephson Junction Switching Current Detector

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to probe a Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) with Josephson Junction Switching Current Detector (JJSCD). The sensitivity for the shear can reach $h\simeq 10^{-19}$ realistically, $10^{-21}$ in the near future, $10^{-24}$ optimistically. If we utilize the enhancement factor from the ratio of the frequency, it is possible to reach further below the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) bound. It will be interesting if we can access the region to discover a footprint of new physics.
