Abstract
We present the first modeled search for gravitational waves using the complete binary black-hole gravitational waveform from inspiral through the merger and ringdown for binaries with negligible component spin. We searched approximately 2 years of LIGO data, taken between November 2005 and September 2007, for systems with component masses of 1–99M_⊙ and total masses of 25–100M_⊙. We did not detect any plausible gravitational-wave signals but we do place upper limits on the merger rate of binary black holes as a function of the component masses in this range. We constrain the rate of mergers for 19M_⊙ ≤ m_1, m_2 ≤ 28M_⊙ binary black-hole systems with negligible spin to be no more than 2.0 Mpc^(-3) Myr^(-1) at 90% confidence.
