Very low latency search pipeline for low mass compact binary coalescences in the LIGO S6 and Virgo VSR2 data

Abstract very low latency search pipeline has been developed for the LIGO S6 and Virgo VSR2 science runs, targeting signals from coalescing compact binary systems with total mass from 2 to 35 solar masses. The goal of this search is to provide both single detector triggers and multi-detector coincident triggers with a latency of a few minutes, the former for online detector monitoring and the latter to allow searching for electromagnetic counterparts to possible gravitational wave candidates. The features and current performance of this low latency search pipeline are presented.
