How Many Templates for GW Chirp Detection? The Minimal-Match Issue Revisited
arXiv:gr-qc/0404096 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/21/21/013
Abstract
In a recent paper dealing with maximum likelihood detection of gravitational wave chirps from coalescing binaries with unknown parameters we introduced an accurate representation of the no-signal cumulative distribution of the supremum of the whole correlator bank. This result can be used to derive a refined estimate of the number of templates yielding the best tradeoff between detector's performance (in terms of lost signals among those potentially detectable) and computational burden.
