All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo run

This paper details results from the second joint analysis for bursts between the LIGO, Virgo and GEO detectors. Daw was an active participant in the LIGO burst working group during this analysis period. The analysis is dependent on data quality flags used to reject periods of high environmental noise. These flags (see section IIb) are derived in large part from a band limited RMS monitor, which Daw wrote and deployed. Furthermore, the results papers rely on the operation of the LIGO interferometers for which Daw performed many critical commissioning and construction tasks (see paper 1 notes).
