Dan Brown’s seminar at KAGRA F2F meeting
Dr. Daniel Brown (Univ of Adelaide) gave a special seminar about the LIGO commissioning and the latest modal model simulation development at the KAGRA face-to-face meeting at Tokyo City University.
Gravitational Waves
James Gardner in Japan
James Gardner, a PhD student at ANU who is currently doing research at Caltech with Yanbei Chen, is visiting us from July 3 through July 12. He gave a presentation at Tokyo Tech and U Tokyo on his work to detect stochastic GW with a single detector, and also had discussions on intracavity schemes.
Post-workshop visits
Several researchers from Japan visited UWA and ANU after GWADW2024. They enjoyed BBQ and experiments!
GWADW2024
Gravitational-Wave Advanced Detector Workshop (GWADW) was held at Hamilton Island and 27 researchers participated from Japan.
Kerr amplification paper published
Our paper on intracavity Kerr amplification has been published from PRL. It was press-released from Tokyo Tech and JST, and is featured in Physics. This is an important milestone for the development of a HF GW detection technique using an intracavity quantum filter.
