KAGRA
JAPANESE UNDERGROUND GRAVITATIONAL WAVE DETECTOR
Large Scale Cryogenic Gravitational Wave Telescope; LCGT
The Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA), is a large interferometer designed to detect gravitational waves predicted by the general theory of relativity. KAGRA is a Michelson interferometer that is isolated from external disturbances: its mirrors and instrumentation are suspended and its laser beam operates in a vacuum.
