Abstract

Data analysis: strategy of LCGT, and status of TAMA/CLIO

LCGT (Large-scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope) is a Japanese laser interferometric gravitational wave detector project, which will start pressing. LCGT will be construct in underground of Kamioka-mine, with 3km base line of Fabry-Perot cavity and using cryogenic mirrors to reduce the thermal noise. We will present the data analysis strategy of LCGT: target of gravitational wave sources, their physics, event searches, and prospects of data analysis. We also report the data analysis status of TAMA and CLIO, which are current projects to act as a prototype of LCGT.

Prospects and progress of DECIGO / DECIGO Path Finder

DECIGO (DECi-heltz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory) is a space-based gravitational wave detector project which focus around 0.1Hz frequency band. This edeci-Hzf frequency band is an intermediate band between ground-based gravitational wave detectors and larger base line space-based detector LISA. We will present physics targets of DECIGO: gravitational waves from inflation, super-massive black-hole et al., and also present the instrumental design of the detector and future prospects of the DECIGO project. We also report the recent progress of DECIGO Path Finder (DPF) that is small satellite for testing some techniques: Fabry-Perot cavity with drag-free test masses. DPF is planning its launch in 2012.
