A method for a Search for Inspiral Merger and Ringdown Spin Aligned Waveforms using NINJA2 Mock Data Sets and gstlal

Compact binary coalescing systems, that is binary neutron stars, neutron star black hole pairs and binary black hole systems, rep- resent promising candidates for gravitational wave first detection and have the potential to provide precise tests of the strong-field predictions of general relativity. Observations of BBH systems will provide a wealth of information relevant to fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology. The search for such systems is a major priority of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory's (LIGO) and Virgo collaborations. A major area of research is incorporating black hole spin into binary black hole searches. In this talk, I will discuss a possible search for the gravitational waves produced by the inspiral, merger and ringdown of spin-aligned BBH systems using a new pipeline called gstlal and the preliminary results of a test search on mock data produced by the Numerical Injection Analysis Two (NINJA2) collaboration.
