The status of KAGRA underground cryogenic gravitational wave telescope
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +146
KAGRA is a 3-km interferometric gravitational wave telescope located in the Kamioka mine in Japan. It is the first km-class gravitational wave telescope constructed underground to…
First cryogenic test operation of underground km-scale gravitational-wave observatory KAGRA
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +198
KAGRA is a second-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detector with 3-km arms constructed at Kamioka, Gifu in Japan. It is now in its final installation phase, which we c…
KAGRA: 2.5 Generation Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detector
T. Akutsu, M. Ando, K. Arai +188
The recent detections of gravitational waves (GWs) reported by LIGO/Virgo collaborations have made significant impact on physics and astronomy. A global network of GW detectors wil…
Construction of KAGRA: an Underground Gravitational Wave Observatory
T. Akutsu, M. Ando, S. Araki +222
Major construction and initial-phase operation of a second-generation gravitational-wave detector KAGRA has been completed. The entire 3-km detector is installed underground in a m…
A discussion on the origin of the sub-PeV Galactic gamma-ray emission
S. Kato, R. Alves Batista, M. Anzorena +16
Galactic diffuse gamma-ray flux measured by the Tibet AS experiment and the total Galactic gamma-ray flux measured by Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) are fo…
Application of the independent component analysis to the iKAGRA data
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +244
We apply the independent component analysis (ICA) to the real data from a gravitational wave detector for the first time. Specifically we use the iKAGRA data taken in April 2016, a…
High-speed charge-to-time converter ASIC for the Super-Kamiokande detector
H. Nishino, K. Awai, Y. Hayato +7
A new application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), the high-speed charge-to-time converter (QTC) IWATSU CLC101, provides three channels, each consisting of preamplifier, discrim…
