At this frequency the separation between the available instruments excludes the use of a correlation technique. Instead I rely on the spectral response of the LASER interferometer to isolate a possible signal from the underlying noise. This research was carried out at the LIGO (LASER Interferometer Gravitational Observatory) located in Hanford, WA and within the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC). Chapter 1 serves as a general introduction to the present state of the search for gravitational waves (GW). I discuss the indirect observation of gravitational radiation as well as the expected sources for GW and their characteristics. I also discuss possible future developments, in particular the Advanced LIGO instruments and the LASER Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). The characteristics of the large LASER interferometers, layout, terminology and necessary formulae are developed in Chapter 2. To carry out the proposed search it is essential that the frequency response of the interferometer be thoroughly understood, including possible noise sources. This was the subject of a series of experimental investigations using sideband injection and mirror excitations to characterize the IFO response in the region of the first free spectral range, which is at 37.52 kHz. The results of these experiments as well as their theoretical model are presented in Chapter 3. Contributions to the spectrum from mechanical noise are investigated in Chapter 4, and compared to the expected contribution thermal excitation. The results of my search are based on data obtained during the third science run of LIGO (S3) and are presented in Chapter 5. I show that a signal such as expected from a stochastic gravitational wave background is manifest in the data and compare it to the expected noise signal. This allows me to postulate a limit on a possible stochastic background. I also discuss further possible high sensitivity measurements at these high frequencies.

Einstein predicted these tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime nearly a hundred years ago, but they were never perceived directly until now. Decades in the making, this momentous discovery has given scientists a new understanding of the cataclysmic events that shape the universe and a new confirmation of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Ripples in Spacetime is an engaging account of the international effort to complete Einstein's project, capture his elusive ripples, and launch an era of gravitational-wave astronomy that promises to explain, more vividly than ever before, our universe's structure and origin. The quest for gravitational waves involved years of risky research and many personal and professional struggles that threatened to derail one of the world's largest scientific endeavors. Govert Schilling takes readers to sites where these stories unfolded--including Japan's KAGRA detector, Chile's Atacama Cosmology Telescope, the South Pole's BICEP detectors, and the United States' LIGO labs. He explains the seeming impossibility of developing technologies sensitive enough to detect waves from two colliding black holes in the very distant universe, and describes the astounding precision of the LIGO detectors. Along the way Schilling clarifies concepts such as general relativity, neutron stars, and the big bang using language that readers with little scientific background can grasp.-- Provided by publisher
