KAGRA/KSC/FPC/Meetings/190614

FPC Meeting on 2019/06/14 13:30 - (JST)

Participants:

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, ...)

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)
