Streszczenie
Resonant mass detectors of GWs of spherical shape constitute the fourth generation of such kind of antennae, and are scheduled to start operation in the near future. In this communication I present a general description of the fundamental principles underlying the physics of this kind of detector, as well as of the motion sensor set suitable to retrieve the information generated by the incidence of a GW on the antenna.
