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…

Reduction of thermal fluctuations in a cryogenic laser interferometric gravitational wave detector

Takashi Uchiyama, Shinji Miyoki, Souichi Telada +14

The thermal fluctuation of mirror surfaces is the fundamental limitation for interferometric gravitational wave (GW) detectors. Here, we experimentally demonstrate for the first ti…
