Analysis of First LIGO Science Data for Stochastic Gravitational Waves

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present the analysis of between 50 and 100 hrs of coincident interferometric strain data used to search for and establish an upper limit on a stochastic background of gravitatio…

First upper limits from LIGO on gravitational wave bursts

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts using data from the first science run of the LIGO detectors. Our search focuses on bursts with durations ranging from 4 ms to 10…

Damped harmonic oscillator: pure states of the bath and exact master equations

Andrey Pereverzev

Time evolution of a harmonic oscillator linearly coupled to a heat bath is compared for three classes of initial states for the bath modes - grand canonical ensemble, number states…
