Can you get gravitons to behave like photons in laser?

[ensabah6]

Is it possible to create gravitons the way photons are created, with electrons falling from quantized systems, or create graviton analogies to photon-lasers?

 

[mathman]

No. Gravitons (yet to be discovered) are the transmitters of gravity and nothing else. Changes in electron states are photon mediated - gravitons have no role.

If you want a graviton laser, you'll need a gain (amplification) medium (and a way to pump more energy into prepare this medium) and then a way to mostly confine the waves (so that a coherent mode is produced). Without the confinement, it's the analogy to a LED. No reason why it isn't possible in principle (though as pointed out, you'll need to construct it of systems of masses, rather than of electric charges).

Of course no one has measured a graviton.

While they are spin-2, the are some indications that they have Fermi statistics instead of Bose statistics. See section 4 of
http://www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0212096

This would be in violation of the spin statistics theorem, so it is a subject of some interest.

^ Would that have any knock on effects for the susy partner of the graviton, the gravitino. It's spin 3/2 but if it's 'normal' version is a fermion with spin 2, could it be bosonic?
