Abstract
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) glitch group is part of the LIGO detector characterization effort. It consists of data analysts and detector experts who, during and after science runs, collaborate for a better understanding of noise transients in the detectors. Goals of the glitch group during the fifth LIGO science run (S5) included (1) offline assessment of the detector data quality, with focus on noise transients, (2) veto recommendations for astrophysical analysis and (3) feedback to the commissioning team on anomalies seen in gravitational wave and auxiliary data channels. Other activities included the study of auto-correlation of triggers from burst searches, stationarity of the detector noise and veto studies. The group identified causes for several noise transients that triggered false alarms in the gravitational wave searches; the times of such transients were identified and vetoed from the data generating the LSC astrophysical results.

LIGO was constructed by the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology with funding from the National Science Foundation and operates under cooperative agreement PHY-0107417. We would like to thank the Bonneville Power Administration, particularly Mike Viles, for providing and interpreting records of power grid events. We are grateful to all members of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration for feedback and support for our work and especially to all the operators and members from the commissioning team who tirelessly worked for two long years to ensure a high duty cycle and good sensitivity during the fifth LIGO science run. This paper was assigned LIGO document number P080016. |
