Abstract
This material is based upon work supported by NSFʼs LIGO
Laboratory, which is a major facility fully funded by the National
Science Foundation. The authors also gratefully acknowledge the
support of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)
of the United Kingdom, the Max-Planck-Society (MPS), and the
State of Niedersachsen/Germany for support of the construction
of Advanced LIGO and construction and operation of the
GEO600 detector. Additional support for Advanced LIGO was
provided by the Australian Research Council. The authors
gratefully acknowledge the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Fisica
Nucleare (INFN), the French Centre National de la Recherche
Scientifique (CNRS), and the Netherlands Organization for
Scientific Research (NWO), for the construction and operation
of the Virgo detector and the creation and support of the EGO
consortium. The authors also gratefully acknowledge research
