Motivation/Background

  • Bar-IFO correlation searches for stochastic BG:

– LLO-ALLEGRO underway w/S2 data – Virgo-{AURIGA/NAUTILUS/EXPLORER} planned

  • Features of Bar-IFO searches (response to isotropic BG)

– Geographically close detector pairs (needed for high freq) – Changing orientation of bar changes GW response – Both explained by overlap reduction function γ(f)

  • This talk examines dependence of γ(f) on bar azimith

– Geometrical explanation of f = 0 behavior – General form of γ(f, ζ)

Signal Modulation w/LLO & ALLEGRO

  • Proposed by Finn & Lazzarini (gr-qc/0104040)
  • Combine measurements in diff orientations

to cancel CC noise & add GW background

  • Empirical sinusoidal dependence of γ(f) on bar azimuth

γ(σ;f) f = 0 Hz σA (degrees) f = 921Hz

  • For two IFOs or bar-IFO (in same plane) γ(0) = cos 2(ζ1−ζ2)

Overlap For Co ¨ ıncident Bars

  • Note for parallel bars, γ(0) = 4

3

but for perpendicular bars γ(0) = −2

3

  • Some authors use different normalization for bars

so that max(γ(f)) remains unity

  • 4

3 vs 1 represents geometry: bars “more omnidirectional”

bars have whole plane of “optimal” propagation directions ⊥ bars have only one “optimal” propagation direction

General Problem of Azimuth Dependence

  • Want γ(d1,

x1,d2, x2, f) where detector 1 is arbitrary

& detector 2 is a bar w/azimuth ζ (CW of local North)

  • Unit vector ˆ

u along bar axis i.t.o. local North ˆ N & East ˆ E:

u = ˆ N cos ζ + ˆ E sin ζ

Dependence of γ(f) on Bar Azimuth

  • Because γ(f) linear in both response tensors,

γ(f) = γ0(f) + γC(f) cos 2ζ + γS(f) sin 2ζ where γ0,C,S(f)= γ(d1,

x1,d0,C,S, x2, f)

  • Can also write

γ(f) = γ0(f) + γA(f) cos 2(ζ−ζmax(f)) Note: if γ0(f)< 0, optimal azimuth is ζmax(f)+90◦

  • Offset γ0(f), amplitude γA(f), “aligned” azimuth ζmax(f)

determined by properties of detector 1 & location of bar. Look at some real-world examples . . .
