KSC members

• KSC member list

• According to Society Regulations of KAGRA Scientific Congress, KSC consists of

  • One congress member from each institute
  • In addition to the above rule 1, one congress member per 4 KAGRA collaborators in each institute. E.g., if there are 1~3 KAGRA collaborators in the institute, then that institute can elect one congress member. If there are 4~7 KAGRA collaborators in the institute, then that institute can elect two congress members.
  • 3 congress members from all graduate students in the KAGRA collaboration.
  • 3 congress members from all post-docs in the KAGRA collaboration.
  • KAGRA Principal Investigator (PI)
• Each constituent body (that is, a group that has a right to elect its KSC members) defines the method to elect its KSC members and their terms of service.
• KSC members have right to vote for the decision in KSC.
• As of July 31, 2019, we have 106 KSC members from 63 institutes/universities.

KSC members consist from representatives (faculty members) of all participating institutes/universities (groups). If one group has N>4 KAGRA collaborators, then it can register round(N/4) KSC members. Please note that KSC members are not registered automatically. Please contact to KSC_Board for updating KSC members. Students and postdoc researchers have three slot each, and they are selected by young researchers' group every year.*/
