Abstract
The authors examine once more the effect of cosmic rays on a resonating gravitational-wave antenna in view of the very high sensitivities that are required for detecting the supernovae of the Virgo Cluster. They show that, at sea-level, the secondaries generated in the bar by the electromagnetic interaction of high-energy muons produce signals with rates much larger than that expected from supernovae. This inconvenience is eliminated in an underground laboratory.
