Perturbation of Larmor orbits by a gravitational wave

P. G. Macedo, H. Nelson

Abstract
It is pointed out that a resonant interaction exists between a charged particle moving in a magnetic field and a gravitational wave with frequency equal to twice the Larmor frequency. Net drift motions of the particle can be produced by the wave, leading to electric currents in a magnetized plasma which directly couple gravitational and EM waves.
