It started as a nice, simple, short project to test some code I was working on. Things… got out of hand. Today I’ve submitted a paper describing a project I’ve been working on for around 18 months, which was not initially planned as a paper.
Project name:
subthreshold
Dates: 2023-06 - Present
Project Status: Ongoing
Project Description
As the field of gravitational wave detection has matured the detection of signals in detector data which could plauibly represent the effects of gravitational waves has increased, along with our confidence in understanding these signals. This opens the possibilities of examining more closely signals which lie deep in the noise from detectors, which will test our ability to distinguish very quiet signals from signal-like noise. This also brings-together many other regions of research, including finding efficient ways to analyse this potentially bountiful new source of data, and deal with the more complex needs of analysing less "clean" signals.
