  21. Collaborations

  22. International Gravitational Event Collaboration AURIGA is member of the IGEC since its foundation in 1997. IGEC HP: http://igec.lnl.infn.it Main results in: P. Astoneet al., “Methods and results of the IGEC search for burst gravitational waves in the years1997-2000”, Phys. Rev. D68 (2003) 022001 (also on astro-ph/0302482) IGEC-2 Agreement, Jan 17th 2005 The groups running the four bar detectors ALLEGRO, AURIGA, EXPLORER, NAUTILUS have signed a Letter of Intent to perform a new joint observation starting from 2004 available data. The approach of this new joint observation, will be based on the previous IGEC experience. The observation times of the participating detectors will be coordinated. IGEC-2 is open to agreements with other projects sharing the same scientific objectives.

  23. LIGO-AURIGA MoU A Memorandum of understanding between the experiment AURIGA and the LIGO project has been recently signed, for the purposes of joint data analysis and dissemination of results 2004/07/12 LIGO-M040010-00-M (MoU) 2004/07/12 LIGO-M040191-00-M (Attachment 1) 2004/07/12 LIGO-M040198-00-M (Membership list)

  24. Joint LIGO-AURIGA working group activity STEP-ZERO Outline of the most interesting analysis to be performed based on preliminary study of sensitivity and efficiency of the detectors Document Type LIGO-T040202-00 2004/10/13 Proposal for the First AURIGA-LIGO Joint Analysis L. Baggio, L Cadonati, S. Heng, W. Johnson, A. Mion, S. Poggi, G.A. Prodi, A. Ortolan, F. Salemi, P. Sutton, G.Vedovato, M. Zanolin 1st STEP Cross-correlation between LIGOs (L1, H1 & H2) around the times of AURIGA triggers  Analysis of S3 data in progress 2nd STEP Implementation of IGEC-like analysis (self adapting directional coincidence search between candidate event lists from each detector) <in preparation >

  25. LIGO-AURIGA MoU A working group for the joint burst search in LIGO and AURIGA has been formed, with the purpose to: • develop methodologies for bar/interferometer searches, to be tested on real data • time coincidence, triggered based search on a 2-week coincidence period (Dec 24, 2003 – Jan 9, 2004) • explore coherent methods ‘best’ single-sided PSD Simulations and methodological studies are in progress.

  26. White paper on joint analysis Two methods will be explored in parallel: • Method 1: • IGEC style, but with a new definition of consistent amplitude estimator in order to face the radically different spectral densities of the two kind of detectors (interferometers and bars). • To fully exploit IGEC philosophy, as the detectors are not parallel, polarization effects should be taken into account (multiple trials on polarization grid). • Method 2: • No assumptions are made on direction or waveform. • A CorrPower search (see poster) is applied to the LIGO interferometers around the time of the AURIGA triggers. • Efficiency for classes of waveforms and source population is performed through Monte Carlo simulation, LIGO-style (see talks by Zweizig, Yakushin, Klimenko). • The accidental rate (background) is obtained with unphysical time-shifts between data streams.
