Description
KAGRA is a 3-km interferometric Gravitational-ave antenna placed at the underground site of Kamioka, Gifu, Japan. The test-mass mirrors are cooled down to cryogenic temperature to suppress the effect of thermal noise. KAGRA started the observation run in 2020, and now preparing for the next observation run, O4, together with LIGO and VIRGO. In this talk, science, design, and current status will be presented.
