LCGT face to face meeting
Date: February 4(Fri)-5(Sat), 2011
Location and access: ICRR U-tokyo, Kashiwa campus, 6F large conference room
http://www.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/access/index_eng.html
We spent much time in the last year in order to meet the tight schedule set by the Government research fund with estimated longer construction time of LCGT after being informed of the partial financing of LCGT. Finally, we have determined the right direction for the fulfillment of the project. The initial phase LCGT (iLCGT) will be operated without cryogenic mirror system for this requirement in prior to the baseline LCGT (bLCGT) which will be in operation by 2016 realizing the baseline specification of LCGT. Although the original design of LCGT was completed ten years ago, LCGT is still competitive among other advanced detectors such as advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo. This means that the techniques of LCGT are quite challenging and not easy to be realized.
We are ready to make this non-easy project successful under the condition of short manpower and possibly short money utilizing wide support by the international community of gravity wave research. We have exchanged MOU with LIGO and in a process of agreement with Virgo. Also we are trying to find new collaboration members to augment LCGT manpower. Under the MOU with LIGO, two researchers have already visited ICRR last fall to support the design of LCGT.
I hope that this f2f meeting presents a good opportunity to mutually exchange a firm resolution to the success of great challenge of LCGT.
