The KAGRA Gravitational Wave Project

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

KAGRA is a laser interferometer with 3km X 3km arm lengths and is designed to observe gravitational waves jointly carrying out the observation runs with LIGO and Virgo. The whole facility is located in deep underground. The unique feature is to use cryogenic mirrors to reduce the thermal noises. I will discuss the status of the KAGRA project and its scientific goals.
