Ando Lab Midterm Seminar May 9, 2018 Optimizing the Future 2018 Yuta Michimura Department of Physics, University of Tokyo

Contents • Looking back on the year 2017 • My plans and expectations for the year 2018 • Looking back over the past years • Interesting-looking experiments (canceled) 2

Ando Lab Vision 2017 • What did I say last year? • KAGRA • Rotating TOBA • Cryogenic TOBA • Gravitational inverse square law • Macroscopic quantum mechanics • Lorentz invariance test 3

KAGRA Y. Enomoto • Some are addressed, some are not • Worked on actuators, sensitivity update, green, electronics and cables, O3 configuration and PE, …… ALS business MZI simulation with K. Yamamoto K. Nagano et al. K. Komori? PSO Parameter estimation 4

Rotating TOBA • Not much progress… • But I still think it is worth a try 5

Cryogenic TOBA • T. Shimoda working on cryogenics • Ching Pin working on Q-value measurements • K. Komori worked on thermal noise calculations with non- uniform temperature Particle Swarm Optimization! 6

Gravitational Inverse Square Law • Not much progress… • But, in terms of search for non- standard forces… Axion Dark Matter! 7

Macroscopic Quantum Mechanics • K. Komori working on torsion pendulum • CSL experiments done by B4 • Good progress in optical levitation experiments - more laser power - possibility of making a curved mirror at ~10 mg scale • Should be very close to horizontal restoring force confirmation • Get high power laser 8

Lorentz Invariance Test • Good progress - compact turntable with wireless signal extraction - first monolithic optical cavity integrated with input optics - reached world best precision in one week • Observation! • Bit bigger (and more stable) turntable 9

My Plans 2018 • Finish axion paper. • Finish bKAGRA Phase-1 paper. • More investigation on sensitivity optimization for parameter estimation (incorporate detection rate, aLIGO/AdV sensitivity dependence, IM parameters, squeezing, polarization optimization). • Realistic feasibility study for KAGRA+. • Virgo visit from June 4 to August 18. • KAGRA interferometer works from August (or October?). • Summarize KAGRA lock acquisition scheme, including ALS and MZI modulation. • In-vac RF PD and RF QPD. 10

My Expectations 2018 • Observe radiation pressure noise with torsion pendulum. • Horizontal restoring force confirmation for optical levitation. • Fabricate ~10 mg curved mirror. • Start observation for Lorentz violation search, summarize the current setup. • Some experimental result at cryogenic temperatures. • Start DECIGO experiment. 11

My Schedule 2018 Fukuoka MG (LVC) JPS (GWPAW) (France?) GWADW KIW F2F JPS (JGRG) F2F (KIW) F2F? PSO, PE, KAGRA+ Summarize KAGRA electronics ALS, MZI Phase 1 paper Brown Axion Virgo KAGRA interferometer Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar 2018 2019 13

Why Virgo, Now? • 若手研究者の国際展開事業 started this year • Never been to Virgo • Exciting to join Virgo commissioning towards O3 • After bKAGRA Phase 1, before RSE 14

Interesting-looking Experiments • The grass is always greener on the other side. • It is also important to concentrate on your own work. • But, of course, I’m not saying that we should be narrow - minded. • And I know elder people are narrow-minded. • You have to be clever enough to enlighten elder people. 16
