LIGO-G D 17 Potential gravity wave sources Bursts: supernovae, black hole mergers, unknown, {triggered burst search – next talk by R. Rahkola} Binary inspirals: NS-NS, {BH-BH, NS-BH, Macho} Stochastic background: big bang, weak incoherent source from more recent epoch Continuous waves: known EM pulsars, {all-sky search for unknown CW sources, LMXRB (e.g. Sco-X1)} Analysis emphasis: »Establish methodology, no sources expected. »End-to-end check and validation via software and hardware injections mimicking passage of a gravitational wave.

LIGO-G D 18 Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts Search methods (generic, no templates): »Time domain algorithm identifies rapid increase in amplitude of a filtered time series (threshold on ‘slope’). »Time-Frequency domain algorithm : identifies regions in the time-frequency plane with excess power (threshold on pixel power and cluster size). Single interferometer: veto events based on data quality essential: use temporal coincidence of the 3 interferometers correlate frequency features of candidates (time-frequency domain analysis).

LIGO-G D 19 Rate vs. Strength Plots for a Burst Model Burst model: 1ms Gaussian impulses Excluded region at 90% confidence level of upper limit vs. burst strength End result of analysis pipeline: number of triple coincidence events. Use time-shift experiments to establish number of background events. Use Feldman-Cousins to set 90% confidence upper limits on rate of foreground events (preliminary results): »Time domain: <5.2 events/day »Time frequency domain: <1.4 events/day Zero-lag measurement

LIGO-G D 20 Search for Inspirals Sources: orbital-decaying compact binaries: neutron star known to exist and emitting gravitational waves (Hulse&Taylor). Search method: system can be modeled, waveform is calculable: »use optimal matched filtering: correlate detector’s output with template waveform

LIGO-G D 21 Inspiral algorithm Use LLO 4k and LHO 4k Matched filter trigger: »Threshold on SNR, and compute  2 »Threshold on  2, record trigger »Triggers are clustered within duration of each template Auxiliary data triggers Vetoes eliminate noisy data Event Candidates »Coincident in time, binary mass, and distance when H1, L1 clean »Single IFO trigger when only H1 or L1 operate Use Monte Carlo simulations to calculate efficiency of the analysis »Model of sources in the Milky Way, LMC,SMC

LIGO-G D 22 Preliminary results of the Inspiral Search Upper limit on binary neutron star coalescence rate Use all triggers from Hanford and Livingston: 214 hours »Cannot accurately assess background (be conservative, assume zero). »Monte Carlo simulation efficiency = 0.51 »90% confidence limit = 2.3/ (efficiency * time). »Express the rate as a rate per Milky Way Equivalent Galaxies (MWEG). R < 2.3 / (0.51 x 214 hr) = 1.64 x 10 2 /yr/(MWEG) Previous observational limits »Japanese TAMA  R < 30,000 / yr / MWEG »Caltech 40m  R < 4,000 / yr / MWEG Theoretical prediction »R < 2 x / yr / MWEG

LIGO-G D 23 Search for Stochastic Radiation Analysis goals: constrain contribution of stochastic radiation’s energy  GW to the total energy required to close the universe  critical : Optimally filtered cross-correlation of detector pairs: L1-H1, L1-H2 and H1-H2. Detector separation and orientation reduces correlations at high frequencies ( GW > 2xBaseLine): overlap reduction function »H1-H2 best suited »L1-H1(H2) significant <50Hz

LIGO-G D 24 Preliminary Results of Stochastic Search Non-negligible LHO 4km-2km (H1-H2) cross-correlation; currently being investigated. Previous best upper limits: »Measured: Garching-Glasgow interferometers : »Measured: EXPLORER-NAUTILUS (cryogenic bars): 61.0 hrs 62.3 hrs T obs  GW (40Hz Hz) < 23  GW (40Hz Hz) < % CL Upper Limit LHO 2km-LLO 4km LHO 4km-LLO 4km Interferometer Pair

LIGO-G D 26 Algorithms for CW Search Central parameters in detection algorithms: »frequency modulation of signal due to Earth’s motion relative to the Solar System Barycenter, intrinsic frequency changes. »amplitude modulation due to the detector’s antenna pattern. Search for known pulsars dramatically reduces the parameter space : computationally feasible. Two search methods used: »Frequency-domain based: fourier transform data, form max. likelihood ratio (“F-statistic”), frequentist approach to derive upper limit »Time-domain based: time series heterodyned, noise is estimated. Bayesian approach in parameter estimation: result expressed in terms of posterior pdf for parameters of interest

LIGO-G D 28 LIGO has started taking data, completing a first science run (“S1”) last summer Second science run (“S2”) 14 February - 14 April: »Sensitivity was ~10x better than S1 »Duration was ~ 4x longer –Bursts: rate limits: 4X lower rate & 10X lower strain limit –Inspirals: reach will exceed 1Mpc -- includes M31 (Andromeda) –Stochastic background: limits on  GW < –Periodic sources: limits on h max ~ few x  ~ few x kpc  Commissioning continues, interleaved with science runs Ground based interferometers are collaborating internationally: »LIGO and GEO (UK/Germany) during “S1” »LIGO and TAMA (Japan) during “S2” LIGO science has started
