28 Discussion Coalescing compact binary search of TAMA300, 1000 hours data and LISM data, are progressing. We have not observed events, which significantly exceed the threshold in both TAMA and LISM s independent analysis. Even in the case if there are no significant events, we can still obtain upper limit to the event rate in the data using e.g. Poisson statistics. With 1000 hours data, we will be able to set an upper limit events /hours c.f.: Caltech 40m : 0.17/hours (90% C.L.) TAMA DT2 : 0.59/hours TAMA DT4 : 0.020/hours

30 A principle of the Resampling method for GW from binary starts To recognize GW as a sinusoidal wave, distort time axis according to the GW frequency changing. -> Re-sample ADC sampling data dt = omega(t) / omega_cutoff resampling interval : dt omega(t) : frequency prediction of GW at t (-> template of GW) omega_cutoff : cutoff frequency of resampling must be chosen less than coalescence frequency in current study, we choose cutoff as 500 Hz in Keplar Motion in this analysis ( near by 1000 Hz in GW ) constant sampling interval "resampling" points distort along the chirp freq.
