Scientific Background and References
====================================

This page lists core papers that motivate major components of the GWIAS-HM pipeline.
For the full paper-to-code mapping table, see ``references/REFERENCES.md`` in the repository.

Core method papers
------------------

- `2310.15233 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.15233>`_
  Template-bank strategy for higher harmonics and cost reduction.
- `2405.17400 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.17400>`_
  Mode-by-mode HM search pipeline and non-Gaussian corrections.
- `2404.02435 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.02435>`_
  Fast marginalization for detection/statistical inference.
- `1806.08792 <https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.08792>`_

Pipeline lineage and robustness papers
--------------------------------------

- `1902.10341 <https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.10341>`_
  Early version of the search pipeline and operations.
