“…False alarms from non-Gaussian transients (glitches) triggering spinning templates had an adverse affect on previous attempts to include spin effects in searches [8]. To counter this problem we also include here a signal-based veto, the χ 2 -test [28,29] used in previous LIGO searches [7,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. This veto reduces the significance of glitchinduced triggers in the search, and thus greatly reduces the threshold on signal SNR that must be applied to achieve a desired false-alarm rate.…”

Implementing a search for aligned-spin neutron star-black hole systems with advanced ground based gravitational wave detectors

We study the effect of spins on searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences in realistic simulated early advanced LIGO data. We construct a detection pipeline including matched filtering, signal-based vetoes, a coincidence test between different detectors, and an estimate of the rate of background events. We restrict attention to neutron star-black hole (NS-BH) binary systems, and we compare a search using nonspinning templates to one using templates that include spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum. To run the searches we implement the binary inspiral matched-filter computation in PYCBC, a new software toolkit for gravitational-wave data analysis. We find that the inclusion of aligned-spin effects significantly increases the astrophysical reach of the search. Considering astrophysical NS-BH systems with nonprecessing black hole spins, for dimensionless spin components along the orbital angular momentum uniformly distributed in ð−1; 1Þ, the sensitive volume of the search with aligned-spin templates is increased by ∼50% compared to the nonspinning search; for signals with aligned spins uniformly distributed in the range (0.7,1), the increase in sensitive volume is a factor of ∼10.

The Large-scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope (LCGT) is planned as a future Japanese project for gravitational wave detection. A 3 km interferometer will be built in an underground mine at Kamioka. Cryogenic sapphire mirrors are going to be employed for the test masses. For the demonstration of LCGT technologies, two prototype interferometers, TAMA300 and CLIO, are being developed. This paper describes the current status of the LCGT project and the two prototype interferometers.

“…Comparisons with previous LIGO [16,17] and LIGO-TAMA [8] searches have already been shown graphically in figure 12. The LIGO-TAMA search targeted millisecond-duration signals with frequency content in the 700-2000 Hz frequency regime (i.e., partially overlapping the present search) and had a detection efficiency of at least 50% (90%) for signals with h rss greater than ∼2 × 10 −19 Hz −1/2 (10 −18 Hz −1/2 ).…”

The fourth science run of the LIGO and GEO 600 gravitational-wave detectors, carried out in early 2005, collected data with significantly lower noise than previous science runs. We report on a search for short-duration gravitationalwave bursts with arbitrary waveform in the 64-1600 Hz frequency range appearing in all three LIGO interferometers. Signal consistency tests, data quality cuts and auxiliary-channel vetoes are applied to reduce the rate of spurious triggers. No gravitational-wave signals are detected in 15.5 days of live observation time; we set a frequentist upper limit of 0.15 day −1 (at 90% confidence level) on the rate of bursts with large enough amplitudes to be detected reliably. The amplitude sensitivity of the search, characterized using Monte Carlo simulations, is several times better than that of previous searches. We also provide rough estimates of the distances at which representative supernova and binary black hole merger signals could be detected with 50% efficiency by this analysis.PACS numbers: 04.80.
