Search for a Stochastic Gravitational-wave Background using a pair of Torsion-bar Antennas
Ayaka Shoda, Masaki Ando, Koji Ishidoshiro +4
We have set a new upper limit on the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) using two prototype Torsion-bar Antennas (TOBAs). TOBA is a low-frequency gravitational-wave de…
Optical-Cavity Limits on Higher-Order Lorentz Violation
Yuta Michimura, Matthew Mewes, Nobuyuki Matsumoto +2
An optical ring cavity is used to place the first laboratory constraints on parity-odd nonrenormalizable Lorentz violation. Variations in resonant frequencies are limited to parts…
Low-Frequency Terrestrial Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Jan Harms, Bram J. J. Slagmolen, Rana X. Adhikari +5
Direct detection of gravitational radiation in the audio band is being pursued with a network of kilometer-scale interferometers (LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA). Several space missions (LISA,…
Interferometer design of the KAGRA gravitational wave detector
Yoichi Aso, Yuta Michimura, Kentaro Somiya +5
KAGRA is a cryogenic interferometric gravitational wave detector being constructed at the underground site of Kamioka mine in Gifu prefecture, Japan. We performed an optimization o…
Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1319
We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years,…
New Limit on Lorentz Violation Using a Double-Pass Optical Ring Cavity
Yuta Michimura, Nobuyuki Matsumoto, Noriaki Ohmae +4
A search for Lorentz violation in electrodynamics was performed by measuring the resonant frequency difference between two counterpropagating directions of an optical ring cavity.…
