Coincidence detection of broadband signals by networks of the planned interferometric gravitational wave detectors

We describe how the six planned detectors (2 LIGOs, VIRGO, GEO, AIGO, TAMA) can be used to perform coincidence experiments for the detection of broadband signals from either coalescing compact binaries or burst sources. We make comparisons…

Detection in coincidence of gravitational wave bursts with a network of interferometric detectors (I): Geometric acceptance and timing

Detecting gravitational wave bursts (characterised by short durations and poorly modelled waveforms) requires to have coincidences between several interferometric detectors in order to reject non-stationary noise events. As the wave…

Identifying noise transients in gravitational-wave data arising from nonlinear couplings

Noise in various interferometer systems can sometimes couple non-linearly to create excess noise in the gravitational wave (GW) strain data. Third-order statistics, such as bicoherence and biphase, can identify these couplings and help…
