The LIGO/Virgo Burst Search
• Burst searches cast a wide net– Short <1s transients – Including un-modeled / poorly modeled signals
• Search for excess power in time-frequency that is coincident/coherent/consistent between detectors
• Several S5/VSR1 results presented at APS– SGRs, Peter Kalmus (earlier session B11)
