Search for Gravitational Waves from Intermediate Mass Binary Black Holes
We present the results of a weakly modeled burst search for gravitational
waves from mergers of non-spinning intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in the
total mass range 100--450 solar masses and with the component mass ratios
between 1:1 and 4:1. The search was conducted on data collected by the LIGO and
Virgo detectors between November of 2005 and October of 2007. No plausible
signals were observed by the search which constrains the astrophysical rates of
the IMBH mergers as a function of the component masses. In the most efficiently
detected bin centered on 88+88 solar masses, for non-spinning sources, the rate
density upper limit is 0.13 per Mpc^3 per Myr at the 90% confidence level.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures: data for plots and archived public version at
