Physical Environment Monitoring (PEM)
 

Data Analysis
In order to produce the manageable-sized data sets needed for the characterization of the LIGO IFOs, it will be necessary to produce reduced data sets. An important goal of the data set reduction work is to evaluate the influence of each of the Physics Environment Monitoring (PEM) channels on the interferometers and to determine which of the PEM channels should be part of the LIGO archive. Below we describe our plans for transient analysis of the PEM data. Finally we discuss the potential detection of gravity waves from gamma ray bursts and the connection of this analysis to understanding the PEM data.
