UWM LSC group 6 month research plan
Feb 15, 1999 - Aug 15, 1999

M:  DISCRIMINATION AND VETO TECHNIQUES

    Brady and Balasubramanian will design, implement and test a
    multi-template discrimination and veto test, in collaboration with
    T. Creighton and J. Creighton.

Plan for Feb 1999 - Aug 1999

The code for the time-parameter veto will be documented and inserted into
GRASP.  Brady will pursue the parameter space method with Ottewill,
Creighton and Creighton,  will test and quantify it's behaviour in
simulated Gaussian data and using data from the 40 meter prototype.

N:  CONTINUOUS WAVE SOURCES

    Brady (with T Creighton) will complete the study of hierarchical
    strategies to search for sources of continuous gravitational waves.
    A manuscript which examines the computational requirements,
    and sensitivities that might be achieved, is in the final stages
    of revision.  The manuscript will be completed and submitted for
    publication.

Plan for Feb 1999 - Aug 1999

Brady will implement the techniques that have been developed to search for
sources of continuous waves.   Code to search for gravitational waves from
isolated neutron stars with known rotational frequency,   but unknown
gravitational wave frequency will be developed and tested.
