Searching for gravitational waves with the LIGO and Virgo interferometers
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 14 (2013) no. 4, pp. 352-365.

Ces dernières années, les détecteurs interférométriques dʼondes gravitationnelles LIGO, GEO et Virgo ont atteint leur sensibilité nominale et accumulé quelques années de données pour la recherche dʼondes gravitationnelles. Nous résumons dans cet article tous les résultats obtenus à ce jour, qui couvrent lʼensemble des sources potentielles dʼondes gravitationnelles. La nouvelle génération de détecteurs au sol est en cours de construction. Ce réseau étendu devrait offrir une opportunité unique pour observer et comprendre notre Univers à travers les ondes gravitationnelles.

The first generation of ground-based interferometric gravitational wave detectors, LIGO, GEO, and Virgo, have operated and taken data at their design sensitivities over the last few years. The data has been examined for the presence of gravitational wave signals. Presented here is a comprehensive review of the most significant results. The network of detectors is currently being upgraded and extended, providing a large likelihood for observations. These future prospects will also be discussed.
