Details & Abstract
We hosted a talk on the topic, exploring how various methods differ from standard aligned-spin searches. The session discussed the impact of detector glitches on search sensitivity and ongoing efforts to better distinguish real signals from instrumental noise.
What Happened
This talk focused on how gravitational-wave searches are performed for precessing binary black holes and how these searches differ from standard aligned-spin methods. The speaker explained how detector glitches affect precessing searches, how noise from glitches and simulated signals reduces sensitivity, and ongoing efforts to develop better methods to separate true precessing signals from instrumental noise.
