On blind searches for noise dominated signals: a loosely coherent approach

Dergachev, V.

Abstract

We introduce a 'loosely coherent' method for detection of continuous gravitational waves that bridges the gap between semi-coherent and purely coherent methods. Explicit control over accepted families of signals is used to increase the sensitivity of a power-based statistic while avoiding the high computational costs of conventional matched filters. Several examples as well as a prototype implementation are discussed.
