Abstract:

Talk at ICRR Seminar, ICRR, Kashiwa, June 17, 2019
http://www.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/icrr_seminar/index_j.html

The first direct detections of gravitational waves from binary black holes and binary neutron star systems by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo have opened a vast new frontier in physics and astronomy. For better source localization and more precise binary parameter estimation, it is essential to extend the global network of advanced gravitational wave telescopes, with detectors such as KAGRA in Japan and the third LIGO detector in India. It is also essential to improve the sensitivity of these detectors beyond their designed sensitivity. In this talk, I will present recent progress of KAGRA towards its first observing run in 2019. I will also discuss the prospects for improving the sensitivity of the KAGRA detector, and describe possible scientific targets of upgraded KAGRA in the future.
