Abstract

We report here the preliminary results of the search for gravitational wave bursts from the 2003 run of the EXPLORER-NAUTILUS experiment. The total common measuring time was 149 days. The detectors had a typical noise spectral amplitude of about 2 10 -21 Hz -1/2 , a bandwidth of the order of 10 Hz and a very good stability. We derive a new upper limit for the GW burst rate, of the order of 0.02 events/day for h RSS 2 10 -19 , and discuss the implication of this result with respect to the results obtained with the 2001 run.
