Scientific paper

Results are reported of a search for short pulses of gravitational radiation, using two split-bar detectors 30 km apart. The detectors have masses of 625 kg each and are capable of millisecond resolution over a broad band around 1200 Hz. Pulses imparting energy of 1/2 to 1 kT to each bar and coincident within plus or minus 1 msec, were indistinguishable in trace characteristics from pulses due to thermal noise; the number in the bin registering coincidences within plus or minus 2 msec was indistinguishable from the numbers in bins of the same time-width but registering coincidences with time differences of up to plus or minus 10 msec between the two detectors.
