KAGRA Future Working Group (FWG)

Overview

• FWG established in Aug 2021 provides a place to discuss new ideas and techniques for future gravitational-wave detectors.

• FWG is a working group under the KSC but it is open to anyone who is interested in advanced R&Ds for the gravitational-wave detection.

• We do not use LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA data in any activities that are open to FWG members (wiki, presentations, emails, etc.).
• The FWG activity shall be free from non-scientific constraints.
• The FWG activity will not be counted for the KAGRA authorship.

• It is an FWG policy to have no meetings on weekends, holidays, or after 5:30pm.
