Searching for gravitational waves with the LIGO and Virgo interferometers
arXiv:1304.4984 · doi:10.1016/j.crhy.2013.03.001
Abstract
The first generation of ground-based interferometric gravitational wave detectors, LIGO, GEO and Virgo, have operated and taken data at their design sensitivities over the last few years. The data has been examined for the presence of gravitational wave signals. Presented here is a comprehensive review of the most significant results. The network of detectors is currently being upgraded and extended, providing a large likelihood for observations. These future prospects will also be discussed.
