Molecular adsorbed layer formation on cooled mirrors and its impacts on cryogenic gravitational wave telescopes
Kunihiko Hasegawa, Tomotada Akutsu, Nobuhiro Kimura +5
Cryogenic mirrors have been introduced to the KAGRA gravitational wave telescope in Japan, and are also planned to be used in next-generation gravitational wave telescopes to furth…
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…
Mirror actuation design for the interferometer control of the KAGRA gravitational wave telescope
Yuta Michimura, Tomofumi Shimoda, Takahiro Miyamoto +36
KAGRA is a 3-km cryogenic interferometric gravitational wave telescope located at an underground site in Japan. In order to achieve its target sensitivity, the relative positions o…
Conduction Effect of Thermal Radiation in a Metal Shield Pipe in a Cryostat for a Cryogenic Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detector
Takayuki Tomaru, Masao Tokunari, Kazuaki Kuroda +13
A large heat load caused by thermal radiation through a metal shield pipe was observed in a cooling test of a cryostat for a prototype of a cryogenic interferometric gravitational…
Stable Operation of a 300-m Laser Interferometer with Sufficient Sensitivity to Detect Gravitational-Wave Events within our Galaxy
Masaki Ando, the TAMA collaboration
TAMA300, an interferometric gravitational-wave detector with 300-m baseline length, has been developed and operated with sufficient sensitivity to detect gravitational-wave events…
