3rd TAMA symposium, ICRR, 2/6/2003
Coalescing compact binaries
Neutron stars
Black holes
Inspiral phase of coalescing compact binaries are main target because
Expected event rate of NS-NS merger: a few within 200Mpc /year
Well known waveform,
etc.
Possibility of MACHO black holes

•Give a time during DT6
•Determine mass, position, inclination angle, phase by
random numbers
•Give a test signal into real data
•Search
•Make event lists and estimate detection efficiency

Upper limit to the event rate: Poisson statistics
•Threshold (  /  2  16 )
•Expected number of fake events over threshold：Nbg=0.1
•Observed number of events over threshold: Nobs=0
Assuming Poisson distribution for the number of real/fake events
over the threshold,
we obtain upper limit to the expected number of real events from
