FPC Meeting on 2019/06/14 13:30 - (JST)
Participants:
Zoom meeting(2): https://zoom.us/j/6676627462
- Next meeting will be in middle July ? (doodle poll will be circulated).
Action items
- Update science scenario with new scoring while keeping the optimistic case for the funding request (Nishizawa)
- Update technology section and add another column like "additive" in the technology scoring sheet (Somiya)
- DECIGO, Optical levitation, icing of TM, cooling capacity(?), ...
- Science Figure of Merits (FoM) for each scenario (Haino, Nishizawa, ...)
- New sensitivity curves (Haino, ...)
Agenda
Observing Scenario Paper (OSP) and O3 simulation (also at LIGO git)
- "Another" final circulation of OSP and LVK-wide presentation will be made very soon. There has been a long delay because of the intensive discussions on the duration and timeline of O4 (and O5) by LVK management people.
- For O3 simulation with KAGRA, SH was invited to LVK O3 task force and simulation results were reported in the last JRPC on June/6 (by Tagoshi-san). Our simulation results are under the review by L.Singer
- Updates on science scenario ?
- O5 CBC (BBH, BNS, NSBH) simulations for O5 with several KAGRA's sensitivities are on-going
- Figure of merits for each science scenario
- LF: BBH(100 SM) range ?
- HF: Sky localization range (BNS, 20 deg^2) ?
- BB: BNS range + BBH(30 SM?) range ? How to assign the weights ?
- Silicon option and suggestion from Australian group (Somiya)
- Publication plan ?
- After the approval of white paper in the next f2f in August, we may want to publish a KAGRA-all paper to express our intention of the future plans to the GW and near-by communities, which I hope to assist to increase the probability of our funding request to be approved.
- Summary of science cases
- Sensitivities for O5 and beyond
- Conferences
- GWADW (any news other than already shared by e-mail ?)
KIW6, June/21-23 - A.Nishizawa(science review including O3,O4,O5) and S.Haino(FPC overview and white paper)
Amaldi conference (Valencia), July/7-12 - Y.Michimura, (and H.Shinkai for KAGRA status talk)
