Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Nicoletta Krachmalnicoff, Tomotake Matsumura, Elena de la Hoz, Soumen Basak, Alessandro Gruppuso | Summary: We present a demonstration of the in-flight polarization angle calibration for the JAXA/ISAS second strategic large class mission, LiteBIRD, and estimate its impact on the measurement of the tensor-to-scalar ratio parameter, r, using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Takaaki Kajita | First 5 Authors: M. Sajjad Athar, Steven W. Barwick, Thomas Brunner, Jun Cao, Mikhail Danilov | Summary: This review demonstrates the unique role of the neutrino by discussing in detail the physics of and with neutrinos. We deal with neutrino sources, neutrino oscillations, absolute masses, interactions, the possible existence of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stavros Katsanevas | First 5 Authors: David McClelland, Harald Lueck, Rana Adhikari, Masaki Ando, GariLynn Billingsley | Summary: To deliver on the promise of next generation gravitational-wave observatories, a sustained and coordinated detector research and development program is required. This report examines in detail the wide range of nearer- and longer-term detector R&D […]

Kavli Affiliate: Takaaki Kajita | First 5 Authors: Vicky Kalogera, B. S. Sathyaprakash, Matthew Bailes, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Alessandra Buonanno | Summary: The next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe coalescences of black holes and neutron stars throughout the cosmos, thousands of them with exceptional fidelity. The Science Book is the result of a 3-year […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stavros Katsanevas | First 5 Authors: Stavros Katsanevas, Gary Sanders, Beverly Berger, Gabriela González, James Hough | Summary: The construction of a global network of detectors is the cornerstone to scientific success for 3rd generation gravitational wave astronomy. If carried out with a vision to the future, the third generation implementation, in its […]

Kavli Affiliate: Stavros Katsanevas | First 5 Authors: Michele Punturo, David Reitze, Peter Couvares, Stavros Katsanevas, Takaaki Kajita | Summary: Planning for the development of a 3rd generation global gravitational-wave detector array is a multifaceted and complex effort that will necessarily need a high level of community input. Interfacing to extant and new stakeholders in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Takaaki Kajita | First 5 Authors: Peter Couvares, Ian Bird, Ed Porter, Stefano Bagnasco, Michele Punturo | Summary: Cyber infrastructure will be a critical consideration in the development of next generation gravitational-wave detectors. The demand for data analysis computing in the 3G era will be driven by the high number of detections as […]
