LISA is a spaceborne laser interferometer for the detection and observation of gravitational waves, currently under study by ESA. A brief introduction of the main features of this detector, concentrating on its oneyear orbital motion around the Sun is given. The amplitude as well as the phase of a gravitational wave is modulated due to that motion, allowing us to extract information from the si...

Between 2007 and 2010 Virgo collected data in coincidence with the LIGO and GEO gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These data have been searched for GWs emitted by cataclysmic phenomena in the universe, by non-axisymmetric rotating neutron stars or from a stochastic background in the frequency band of the detectors. The sensitivity of GW searches is limited by noise produced by the detector or ...

The passage of cosmic rays has been observed to excite mechanical vibrations in the resonant gravitational wave detector NAUTILUS operating at temperature of 100 mK. A very significant correlation (more than 10 standard deviations) is found.

Laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors can be operated at their free spectral range frequency. We show that in this case and when the interferometer is well understood one could detect a stochastic background using a single detector.

The Virgo detector, based at the EGO (European Gravitational Observatory) and located in Cascina (Pisa), played a significant role development of gravitational-wave astronomy. From its first scientific run 2007, detector has constantly been upgraded over years; since 2017, with Advanced project, reached high sensitivity that allowed detection several classes sources to investigate new physics. ...

given the sensitivity of current ground-based gravitational wave (gw) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. while with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...

In the search for unmodeled gravitational wave bursts, there are a variety of methods that have been proposed to generate candidate events from time series data. Block Normal is a method of identifying candidate events by searching for places in the data stream where the characteristic statistics of the data change. These change-points divide the data into blocks in which the characteristics of...

We study non-coherent detection schemes for molecular communication (MC) systems that do not require knowledge of the channel state information (CSI). In particular, we first derive the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) multiple-symbol (MS) detector for MC systems. As a special case of the optimal MS detector, we show that the optimal ML symbol-by-symbol (SS) detector can be equivalently written ...

interferometer detectors Yiqiu Ma, David G Blair, ∗ Chunnong Zhao, and William Kells 1: School of Physics, University of Western Australia 2: California Institute of Technology Abstract In this paper, we discuss the energy interaction between gravitational waves and the laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors. We show that the widely held view that the laser interferometer gravitation...
