Abstract

We analyze the response of the gravitational wave detector to a scalar massive plane gravitational wave. We give the compact form of the response and discuss its angular and frequency characteristics. The derivations are carried out in the conformal and the synchronous gauges, and the equivalence of the two approaches is shown. In a particular example of the massive Brans--Dicke theory, we show as well the equivalence of the two gauges on the level of the solution of the linearized field equation.
