Cumulative analysis of the association between the gravitational wave detectors NAUTILUS and EXPLORER and the gamma-ray bursts detected by BATSE and BeppoSAX
The statistical association between the output of the Gravitational Wave (GW)
detectors EXPLORER and NAUTILUS and a list of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected
by the satellite experiments BATSE and BeppoSAX has been analyzed using
cumulative algorithms. GW detector data collected between 1991 and 1999 have
been correlated to the GRB flux peak times. The cumulative analysis of a large
number of GRBs (387) allows to push the upper bound for the corresponding GW
burst amplitude down to .Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures; minor corrections, added references. Accepted
