After 3 years (Feb 1999- Feb 2001) spent mostly in Legnaro National Laboratories, I finally got my PhD diploma at Padova University on Feb 20th, 2001, by defending the following thesis:

Lucio Baggio, "Data analysis for gravitational wave search with resonant detectors", Univ. of Padova, Jan 2001, (in English, unpublished).

This is an electronic version of the thesis (it is split in 5 files for convenience):

part 1 (2.3MB) - Introduction, Chapters 1-2 (pages 1-62)

part 2 (2.6MB) - Chapter 3 (pages 45-62)

part 3 (1.3MB) - Chapter 4 [4.1-4.2.2] (pages 63-88)

part 4 (27MB) - Chapter 4 [4.2.3] (pages 89-96)

part 5 (1.4MB) - Chapter 4 [4.3-4.4] and Appendix (pages 97-140)
