A Search for Intermittent Gravitational Wave Backgrounds
 
Show general info
Content: A stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) is composed of signals from many independent and overlapping sources. One source which contributes to this background is a population of unresolvable binary black hole (BBH) mergers throughout the universe. These mergers occur roughly every 5-10 minutes and the signals are about 1 second long in duration, making them "popcorn-like" (or intermittent). We propose a new search which models this "popcorn-like" nature by looking for bursts of cross-correlated power.
