NEW Top paper from the NINJA project available now in Classical and Quantum Gravity

03/08/2009

We are delighted to announce the publication of Testing gravitational-wave searches with numerical relativity waveforms: results from the first Numerical Injection Analysis (NINJA) project
by Benjamin Aylott et al.

This article represents the first large-scale work between the data analysis and numerical relativity communities towards exploiting gravitational waves expected in the merger of a binary black hole system in the search for gravitational waves in the data from detectors in operation.

For several years the numerical relativity community has been working towards obtaining such waveforms - which required constructing complex codes implementing Einstein equations - while the data analysis community has developed a series of refined tools to analyze the data from interferometric detectors.

This article presents the first cohesive effort to adopt the knowledge gained through the simulations and study its incorporation in data analysis pipelines, measuring efficiency in simulated gaussian data.

For more information, please see the 60 second interview with two of the authors, Deirdre Shoemaker and Badri Krishnan, and the NINJA team home page.
