abstract = "Schenberg is a resonant-mass gravitational wave detector developed
by the Brazilian Graviton group that is sensitive to a central
frequency near 3200 Hz with bandwidth around 200 Hz. Its spherical
antenna weighs 1150 kg and it is connected to the outer
environment by a suspension system designed to attenuate local
noise, both seismic and non-seismic. During the passage of a
gravitational wave the antenna is expected to vibrate and such
motion will be monitored by six parametric transducers whose
electronic signal will be digitally analyzed. For the microwaves
to reach the transducers, coaxial cables are needed, which are
also connected to the outer environment and may be a source of
seismic noise. Using the finite elements method, this work shows
that the proper addition of masses along these cables reduces such
seismic noise to levels below the detectors thermal noise when it
operates at 50 mK, thus avoiding the decrease of the expected
sensitivity of the detector.",
