Fscan Code Development For Advanced Ligo Detector Characterization
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is an experiment designed to provide direct detection of gravitational waves. Its searches for periodic gravitational waves are highly susceptible to long-duration noise that appears as spectral lines. FScan is a tool for finding spectral lines and is used to identify the lines that appear in the gravitational-wave data; it is also used to characterize LIGO's detectors. This thesis details work in rewriting the plotting portion of FScan, making improvements to the FScan driver script, and writing code to assist in the tracking of wandering spectral lines. In particular, this thesis presents the line tracking code, LineTrack.py, and serves as its documentation.
