Abstract
Cryogenic resonant “bar” detectors have been operated for a number of years and, more recently, the network of all 5 detectors in operation worldwide has been working in coincidence, in a 4 years search of impulsive gw events in the Galaxy. Their response to cosmic rays has also been evidenced. The performance of the detectors and of the network are described here, with the result of the search in terms of upper limits and false alarm rates. The upgrades shortly due promise to extend the reach out of the detectors for violent impulsive gw events to the whole Local Group of galaxies and thus to usefully complement the upcoming interferometric detectors in the kHz frequency range.
