Development of a DMT monitor for tracking slow nonstationarities present in LIGO science data.

Presence of slow non-stationarities has been seen in a series of studies with LIGO engineering and science data. It is important to track these slow variations or 'drifts' to diagnose their origin and correct them, as nonstationary data can affect sensitivity of astrophysical searches. A DMT (Data Monitoring Tool) monitor has been built to track slow non-stationarities in LIGO data. The monitor, tested on S4 data, will be operational during LIGO S5 data run. Offline analysis will be performed to unearth details of patterns thus obtained in the output of the monitor.
