Description
We search for coincident gravitational wave signals from inspiralling
neutron star binaries using LIGO and TAMA300 data taken during early
2003. Using a simple trigger exchange method, we perform an
intercollaboration coincidence search during times when TAMA300 and only
one of the LIGO sites were operational. We find no evidence of any
gravitational wave signals. We place an observational upper limit on the
rate of binary neutron star coalescence with component masses between 1
and 3M&sun; of 49 per year per Milky Way equivalent galaxy
at a 90% confidence level. The methods developed during this search will
find application in future network inspiral analyses.
