The search for burst waves at resonant frequency ~ 900 Hz.
The detectors nearly parallel to maximize coincident sensitivity.
Candidate events at SNR > 3-5 (~ background events 100/day)
Data exchanged: peak amplitude, time of event and uncertainties.
Threshold equivalent to ~0.1 M⊙ converted into a gravitational wave millisecond burst at a distance of 10 kpc.
The accidental coincidence rate over 1 sec interval (e.g. bandwidth of 1 Hz) was ~ few/week two-fold and ~few/century three-fold.
Time resolution not sufficient to resolve incident wave direction, no directional search has been applied.
No evidence for grav wave bursts was found.

During 2001 EXPLORER and NAUTILUS were the only two operating resonant detectors, with the best ever reached sensitivity.An algorithm based on energy compatibility of the event was applied to reduce the “background”

- crewless operation - data validated by cosmic ray effect - new upper limit with bars, no significant coincidence excess nor sidereal effect.

Conclusions Sensitivity toward gravitational wave detection is improving
on many fronts and this will continue well into the future
New upper limits are being set for the major sources -- binary inspirals, periodic sources, burst sources and stochastic background.
Data exchange and joint data analysis between detector groups is improving our ability to make detections
Many exciting future projects and upgrades are planned or getting underway.
Hopefully, detections will be made soon !! Maybe by Amaldi-7??
