An arm length stabilization system for KAGRA and future gravitational-wave detectors
T. Akutsu, M. Ando, K. Arai +198
Modern ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors require a complex interferometer configuration with multiple coupled optical cavities. Since achieving the resonances of the a…
DANCE: Dark matter Axion search with riNg Cavity Experiment
Yuta Michimura, Yuka Oshima, Taihei Watanabe +6
We have proposed a new approach to search for axion dark matter with an optical ring cavity [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 161301 (2018)]. The coupling of photons to axions or axion-like p…
Probe for Type Ia supernova progenitor in decihertz gravitational wave astronomy
Tomoya Kinugawa, Hiroki Takeda, Ataru Tanikawa +1
It is generally believed that Type Ia supernovae are thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs). However, there is currently no consensus regarding the events lea…
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…
Prospects for improving the sensitivity of KAGRA gravitational wave detector
Yuta Michimura, Masaki Ando, Eleonora Capocasa +22
KAGRA is a new gravitational wave detector which aims to begin joint observation with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo from late 2019. Here, we present KAGRA's possible upgrade pla…
Prospects for gravitational-wave polarization test from compact binary mergers with future ground-based detectors
Hiroki Takeda, Atsushi Nishizawa, Koji Nagano +4
There exist six possible polarization modes of gravitational waves in general metric theory of gravity, while two tensor polarization modes are allowed in general relativity. The p…
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…
