Detection of scalar gravitational waves with a hollow spherical antenna

We study the response and cross sections for the absorption of GW energy generated in a Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory by a resonant mass detector shaped as a hollow sphere. As a source of the GW we take a binary system in the Newtonian approximation. For masses of the stars of the order of the solar mass, the emitted GW sweeps a range of frequencies which include the first resonant mode of the detector.
