Overview of KAGRA: KAGRA science

Abstract: KAGRA is a newly build gravitational wave observatory, a laser interferometer with 3 km arm length, located in Kamioka, Gifu, Japan. In this paper, one of a series of articles featuring KAGRA, we discuss the science targets of KAGRA projects, considering not only the baseline KAGRA (current design) but also its future upgrade candidates (KAGRA+) for the near to middle term ($\sim$5 years).

“…One well-motivated model (Ac3G) approximates with three Gaussian functions the results of numerical simulations of a SN collapsing to a neutron star, and the other model (LAc3G) assumes a longer accretion phase, as could be appropriate for the collapse of a higher-mass star to a black hole. 2 We do not discuss the possibilities for GW emissions in the subsequent cooling phase, which have not yet been studied numerically. See also [48] for a suggestion to search for GW emission from ultra-relativistic jets that could be generated by some core-collapse SNe.…”

“…The other is the gravitational memory effect due to asymmetric neutrino emission during the accretion phase following the collapse [47], which is expected to peak in a frequency range approximately 1 Hz, and hence is of interest to AION and AEDGE. 2 This effect has recently been studied numerically in [49], using phenomenological models inspired by numerical simulations. These models reproduce typical features of the neutrino luminosity and of the anisotropy in the neutrino emission over time scales 0.1 s, during the accretion phase that follows the initial neutronization phase.…”

“…After the Advanced Virgo joined the GW observation network, the extra polarization modes have been tested with GW170814 [14]. The KAGRA in Japan has begun operating and will improve the measurement of polarizations in the near future [15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…The historic discovery of gravitational waves from multiple types of compact object mergers by the LIGO/VIRGO collaborations [1][2][3][4] has opened a new window into the Universe. These instruments, along with the newly commissioned KAGRA [5], are sensitive to gravitational waves in the frequency band above 10 Hz. Much like in electromagnetism, there is an exceptionally strong case to probe other parts of the gravitational wave spectrum, since it is likely that the Universe has interesting secrets across this spectrum.…”
