Interferometer data contains numerous noise transients, or “glitches”, that can mimic true gravitational waves, reducing the sensitivity of the match-filtering search by increasing the rate at which random coincidences occur. High mass binary black hole mergers are particularly susceptible since they resemble short noise transients. We show that we can use a template bank of compact binary...
Gas catchers are widely used to slow down energetic particles in order to prepare them for precision measurements. Chemical reactions of the ions with impurities in the gas can affect the extraction efficiency from the gas-catcher. Our aim is to make use of this effect and to explore the potential of chemical reactions for Chemical Isobaric Separation (CISe)
We want to apply this technique to...
