Personnel

• Marton Tapai
• Gareth Davies
• Thomas Dent
• Ian Harry
• Alex Nitz
• Laura Nuttall
• Anyone Else?

Methods to demonstrate

• reduced SNR threshold
• clustering single triggers
• multi-dimensional background smoothing
• multi-ifo coincidence
• multi-ifo ranking statistic(s)
• Better treatment of non-stationary data
• Anything else?

Analyses for testing

• Gaussian noise runs:
  • 3 detector 2ogc stat
  • 2 detector 2ogc stat
  • 2 detector O2 statistic

Need to consider:

• Injection sets (current sets are too close for fake design sensitivity searches) - current ideas:

  • Uniform in chirp distance between 5000 and 600000
  • BNS: mass 1 - 2.5, spin 0-0.4, uniform in component mass BNSSTT2
  • BBH: mass 2.5 - 50, spin 0-0.998, uniform in log mass. Spin aligned BBHSEOBNRv4
  • NSBH: mass1 2.5 - 50, mass2 1 - 2.5, spin1 - 0-0.998, spin2 - 0.-04, uniform in log mass

• Using PSD variation in Gaussian noise runs doesn't really make sense
