TL;DR
This paper outlines a joint LIGO-TAMA search strategy for unmodelled gravitational wave bursts, emphasizing coincidence detection across four interferometers despite differing sensitivities and alignments.
Contribution
It presents a detailed plan for a joint gravitational wave burst search, addressing challenges of coincidence analysis with multiple detectors.
Findings
Developed a conservative detection approach requiring all four interferometers to see the burst.
Analyzed the effects of different alignments and noise spectra on coincidence detection.
Outlined procedures for data analysis during the 2003 observation period.
Abstract
We describe the plans for a joint search for unmodelled gravitational wave bursts being carried out by the LIGO and TAMA collaborations using data collected during February-April 2003. We take a conservative approach to detection, requiring candidate gravitational wave bursts to be seen in coincidence by all four interferometers. We focus on some of the complications of performing this coincidence analysis, in particular the effects of the different alignments and noise spectra of the interferometers.
