- Goal of FSC
- FSC's goal is to make a suggestion of a concrete plan for KAGRA+ and beyond, based on both science and available technologies.
- Scope of FSC
- White paper writing
Organizing Project R&D and Advanced R&D
- Coordination of Future Working Group Open Meetings
- Responsible for future discussions in JGWC, CRC meetings etc.
- Responsible for discussions of 2.5-3Gs in LVK meetings, IGWN etc.
- Organization
- Future Planning Committee (or white paper writing team): Dissolved. Entire FSC will take care of white paper writing
Project R&D Committee (PRDC) Chair: Kentaro Somiya
Advanced R&D: R&D that are not PRD yet
- Future Working Group (FWG): Discuss new ideas and techniques for future gravitational-wave detectors (not only for KAGRA).
Project R&D
- How was the applications?
- I think we should relax the criteria for being PRD, and approve almost all the applications (after some revisions if necessary).
- PRD is a good way to help young scientists start contributing to KAGRA
- There are also critisms about not contributing to KAGRA directly
- Updating white paper
- Science part can be integrated into LVK Observational Science White Paper, and KAGRA-relevant topics can be extracted from this. We can also include KAGRA-specific science to the LVK Observational Science White Paper (e.g. B-L dark matter is already included)
- There is no LVK Instrument Science White Paper yet (only LSC), and KAGRA-specific one may be necessary.
Instrument science part could be updated annually. Just list up new technologies or updates on technology developments. We could also update the matrix to score each technology. https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=9590
- We could propose new KAGRA+ sensitivity curves and update BBH/BNS event rates, BBH/BNS sky localization, inclination/distance estimation.
- How about having a FSC white paper writing workshop to review new technologies and updates on technology developments over the last 5 years, and write them as a white paper 2024.
- Any suggestion on when and where?
- Future Working Group 4th Open Meeting
- How about having it in-person with F2F Dec 2024?
- Report from 10yr Task Force
- Any other discussions?
