UWM LSC group: Brady's research plan
Jun 15, 1999 - Feb 15, 2000


H:  EXCESS POWER STATISTIC

Anderson, Brady, Creighton and Flanagan will submit a paper about the method.
Brady has implemented one of the algorithms discussed in the manuscript.  The
code will be documented and included into GRASP.  
	  
M:  DISCRIMINATION AND VETO TECHNIQUES

Brady and Ottewill will document their code which implements the parameter space
veto using the time of arrival parameter, and insert it into GRASP.  Teviet and
Jolien Creighton will do the same for their version of the multi-template veto
method.  An improved version of the multi-template veto technique will be
implemented, documented and included into GRASP.  At the same time, the "power"
of this method will be examined and compared with other veto techniques.

N:  CONTINUOUS WAVE SOURCES

Brady, T. Creighton and Stuart Anderson will write and test code to search for
isolated pulsars with known phase evolution in the LIGO data stream.  This is
part of the long term plan to provide LIGO documented (high-performance) code to
search for continuous waves.
