Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts in LIGO's S5 run

ORAL

Abstract

By the end of 2005, the LIGO detectors reached their design sensitivity. The S5 run started in November 2005, and is expected to collect a year's worth of coincident data. We present the status of the search for unmodeled short-duration bursts during the first few months of the S5 run.
