Abstract

We report on a search for gravitational-wave bursts in data from the three LIGO interferometric detectors during their third science run. The search targets subsecond bursts in the frequency range 100–1100 Hz for which no waveform model is assumed and has a sensitivity in terms of the root-sum-square (rss) strain amplitude of h_(rss) ∼ 10^(−20) Hz^(−1/2). No gravitational-wave signals were detected in the eight days of analysed data.
