Stochastic Background Searches with Interferometers and Bars
(Dependence of Response on Bar Azimuth)
John T. Whelan Loyola University New Orleans jtwhelan@loyno.edu 8th Gravitational Wave Data Analysis Workshop 2003 December 19 G030692-00-Z
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

Overlap For Co ¨ ıncident Bars
- Note for parallel bars, γ(0) = 4
3
but for perpendicular bars γ(0) = −2

- 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 = 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 . . .
