Decadal upgrade strategy for KAGRA toward post-O5 gravitational-wave astronomy
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +150
The KAGRA Collaboration has investigated a ten-year upgrade strategy for the KAGRA gravitational wave detector, considering a total of 14 upgrade options that vary in mirror mass,…
Identification of Noise-Associated Glitches in KAGRA O3GK with Hveto
T. Akutsu, M. Ando, M. Aoumi +148
Transient noise ("glitches") in gravitational wave detectors can mimic or obscure true signals, significantly reducing detection sensitivity. Identifying and excluding glitch-conta…
