GEO 600 and the GEO-HF upgrade program: successes and challenges
K. L. Dooley, J. R. Leong, T. Adams +25
The German-British laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector GEO 600 is in its 14th year of operation since its first lock in 2001. After GEO 600 participated in science ru…
A fully-coherent all-sky search for gravitational-waves from compact binary coalescences
D. M. Macleod, I. W. Harry, S. Fairhurst
We introduce a fully-coherent method for searching for gravitational wave signals generated by the merger of black hole and/or neutron star binaries. This extends the coherent anal…
Improving the Data Quality of Advanced LIGO Based on Early Engineering Run Results
L. K. Nuttall, T. J. Massinger, J. Areeda +16
The Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors have completed their initial upgrade phase and will enter the first observing run in late 2015, wi…
Seismic isolation of Advanced LIGO: Review of strategy, instrumentation and performance
F. Matichard, B. Lantz, R. Mittleman +49
Isolating ground-based interferometric gravitational wave observatories from environmental disturbances is one of the great challenges of the advanced detector era. In order to dir…
Cost-benefit analysis for commissioning decisions in GEO600
T. Adams, J. R. Leong, J. Slutsky +17
Gravitational wave interferometers are complex instruments, requiring years of commissioning to achieve the required sensitivities for the detection of gravitational waves, of orde…
