Abstract
We summarize the sensitivity achieved by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors
for compact binary coalescence (CBC) searches during LIGO's fifth science run and
Virgo's first science run. We present noise spectral density curves for each of the
four detectors that operated during these science runs which are representative of
the typical performance achieved by the detectors for CBC searches. These spectra
are intended for release to the public as a summary of detector performance for CBC
searches during these science runs.
