concerning: 40 meter/TAMA data

The 40 meter system at Caltech was run by the Caltech and University
of Michigan groups to collect data in the gravitational wave channel
and about 100 channels of ancillary information from the instrument
and environment. About a terabyte of data was collected from the
40 meter system which is now stored on the tape robot in the
Center for Advanced Computing Research (CACR). The gravitational
wave strain sensitivity of the data is about 10^-18/sqrt(Hz).
The 40 meter data is opened to LSC members for analysis by
proposal to the LSC/LIGO data analysis committee.

For part of the 40 meter run TAMA was also operating and there is
about 20 hours of data during which both instruments were operating
and logging data at comparable sensitivity. The LIGO laboratory
and the LSC is assembling a small team lead by Albert Lazzarini
to work with 40 meter and TAMA data together to analyse for
coincidence events and cross correlation. If you would like to
become part of this team please contact Al and me. There is
need to keep the team small so as not overwhelm the
TAMA group which had not considered interaction with the LSC as
part of the initial plan.
