We present the preliminary results of the analysis to search for inspiraling compact binaries using TAMA300 DT8 data which was taken during 2003. We compare the quality and the stability of the data with that taken during DT6 in 2001. We find that the DT8 data has better quality and stability than the DT6 data.
We discuss a method of coincidence analysis to search for gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries using the data of two laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors. We examine the allowed difference of the wave's parameters estimated by each detector to obtain good detection efficiency. We also discuss a method to set an upper limit to the event rate from the results of the coincidence analysis. For the purpose to test above methods, we performed a coincidence analysis by applying these methods to the real data of TAMA300 and LISM detectors taken during 2001. We show that the fake event rate is reduced significantly by the coincidence analysis without losing real events very much. Results of the test analysis are also given.
