Sensitivity of the instruments GWDAW-9, Annecy
Span of the interferometers • Detectors have the best sensitivity to black hole binaries with mass in the range 10-200 M • Initial LIGO and Virgo have similar sensitivities for binaries in the range 10-50 M • Advanced LIGO has a span of 15 times greater than Initial LIGO/VIRGO or an event rate 3000 times larger GWDAW-9, Annecy
