SLIDE 1 KAGRA future discussion 1
The 3rd KAGRA International Workshop May 2017

SLIDE 2
KAGRA Advanced R&D
It is not a subsystem but a group of activities for a future upgrade of KAGRA.

Advanced R&D subjects and past presentation slides are listed in the wiki page.
SLIDE 4 Discussion on a future upgrade
- Some advanced techniques have been proposed
- We shall integrate them to make a concrete plan(s)
for the future upgrade of KAGRA
- How much can we improve the current sensitivity?
- In which timescale shall we consider the upgrade?

SLIDE 8 In the case of KAGRA
- QN and Suspension TN limit the sensitivity
- Mirror TN is small in 20K but not too small
SLIDE 9 How to calculate noise curves
for
- Mirror coating thermal noise
- Quantum noise
Simplified model
* Y:Youngʼs modulus, :Poisson ratio, dw:fiber diameter, l:fiber length, dcoa:coating thickness
SLIDE 10
- BNS observation range was 188Mpc (current:158Mpc)
- Susp TN and QN increased for lighter mass (50kg>23kg)

Integration of the techniques
It is not enough to propose one technique to improve the overall KAGRA sensitivity. We shall combine multiple techniques to make a plan. We would like to have a few candidate plans by the next F2F meeting!
SLIDE 15 Trade-offs with some parameters
Parameter Good Bad high laser power low shot noise temperature increase, parametric instability use of Silicon can be larger than Sapphire different wavelength, lower Youngʼs modulus thin fiber low suspension TN less cooling capability large beam low mirror TN diffraction loss, less stable thick mirror (same radius) heavy mass more absorption at ITM large radius (same mass) large beam (low TN) more dissipation (high TN)
A proper combination of the parameters is necessary to achieve a good sensitivity.
SLIDE 16 Other ideas to improve the sensitivity
- Non-cylindrical mirror to increase the mass
- Non-cylindrical mirror to decrease TN
- Composite mirror
- 300K Silica ITM + 20K Sapphire ETM
- Evanescent cooling
- Crystaline coating
- Delay line
- Local readout
- Balanced homodyne detector
- EPR entanglement

How do we proceed?
Today and Tomorrow My talk: introduction Haino-san: astronomical targets and technical feasibility Michimura-kun: example plans of “KAGRA+” For the next F2F meeting Pre-meeting/telecon to discuss future upgrades Discussion day/session at the F2F meeting Near future (maybe not now, until bKAGRA-I/II? finishes) We shall start to organize a working group to consider a strategy (technology, budget, human resources, etc.)
