Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory

LIGO Scientific Collaboration Working Group on

BURST SOURCES

This website is entirely obsolete and exists only for people who want to look back on pre-2004 material posted here.

This web site is a place for dissemination of information on the LSC Working Group on BURST SOURCES, charged with developing algorithms and statistical measures for discovering or setting upper limits on burst sources of gravitational waves using the LIGO interferometers. The documents are for LIGO/LSC internal use only.
