Large-scale gravitational wave telescope (LCGT)

摘要

LCGT is the large scale cryogenic gravitational wave telescope project in Japan in order to firstly detect gravitational waves. After the detection, the detector will be served as an astronomical tool to observe the Universe in collaborative observation with Advanced LIGO, GEO HF, Advanced Virgo and AIGO detectors. LCGT will contribute both the enterprise of detecting the gravitational wave events and the worldwide network for gravitational wave astronomy. This paper summarizes the status of LCGT.
