Abstract

The various materials of test masses, and the difference of arm lengths of global ground-based gravitational-wave interferometer detectors offer a unique approach to test Newton's second law, weak equivalence principle, and Einstein equivalence principle with dynamical space-time effects in terms of the interaction of gravitational waves with detectors. We proposed a novel test strategy for the interaction between gravitational waves and detectors, which is independent of particular gravitation theory. A new population level of the Fisher-Matrix approach for multiple sources and multiple detectors case is formalized to evaluate the prospects for a binary neutron star and binary black hole coalescences. Through a generalized detector response, we found more sources could break the parameter degeneracy and one could constrain the interaction and gravitational-inertial mass ratio parameters with the standard deviation \ls1%\ls 1\% with about 10 compact binary coalescence sources with future third-generation detectors network.
