Preliminary list of S1 detector characterization investigations
---------------------------------------------------------------

       (for discussion at June 21, 2002 telecon)

Tool refinement investigations focussed on understanding GW channel
(includes comparisons of existing tools in getting the job done)

* Calibration stability (tracking injected lines & shape changes, alignment)
  (Mike Landry*, Rana Adhikari*)

* Violin modes (tracking, thresholding, understanding ring-up)
  (Sergey Klimenko*)

* Spectral distortion (non-stationary noise, gain peaking, ...)
  (??????*, Keith Riles)

* Steady-state correlations (e.g., quantify strength, graph in realtime)
  (Nelson Christensen*, Adrian Ottewill)

* Glitches (rates, causes)
  (Joe Giaime*, Ed Daw)

* Bilinear couplings (quantification, causes)
  (Steve Penn*)
 

General investigations of environment

* Quantify correlated environmental transients between sites
  (Robert Schofield*)

* Identify & catalog environmental disturbances
  (Robert Schofield*, Rauha Rahkola)
 

System verification

* Timing precision
  (Daniel Sigg*, Szabi Marka)

* Data integrity
  (John Zweizig*)

* Data access
  (Peter Shawhan*)

* Data set reduction
  (Isabel Leonor*)

* Hardware astrophysical signal injection
  (Szabi Marka*, Peter Shawhan*)
