Characterization of transient noise in Advanced LIGO relevant to gravitational wave signal GW150914

Characterization of transient noise in Advanced LIGO relevant to gravitational wave signal GW150914

On 14 September 2015, a gravitational wave signal from a coalescing black hole binary system was observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors. This paper describes the transient noise backgrounds used to determine the significance of the event (designated GW150914) and presents the results of investigati...
