ProgrammeWorkshop PresentationI.4 -- Invited, IWTCP-2 Date: Tuesday, 29-07-2014 Time: 14h35 - 15h10 Status of KAGRA and gravitational wave astronomyYousuke Itoh KAGRA collaboration and University of Tokyo KAGRA is the Japanese gravitational wave telescope now under construction and will begin its operation at design sensitivity in the coming decade. It is the first gravitational wave telescope in the world that operates at cryogenic temperature and underground. With such distinctive features KAGRA would join in the world-wide collaborative and competitive efforts for detecting gravitational waves and establishing gravitational wave astronomy to explore yet undiscovered aspects of the universe. In this talk, starting from the basics of what gravitational wave is, I will introduce what we expect from the gravitational wav astronomy and then review the status of KAGRA.
