What is DECIGO?Deci-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory

(Kawamura, et al., CQG 23 (2006) S125-S131) Bridges the gap between LISA and terrestrial detectors Low confusion noise Extremely high sensitivity

Radiation pressure noise

Shot noise

Requirements Acceleration noise should be suppressed below

radiation pressure noise– Force noise: DECIGO = LISA/50

(Acceleration noise in terms of h: 1, Distance: 1/5000, Mass: 100)

– Fluctuation of magnetic field, electric field, gravitational field, temperature, pressure, etc.

Sensor noise should be suppressed below shot noise.– Phase noise: DECIGO = LCGT×10

(Sensor noise in terms of h: 1, storage time: 10)– Frequency noise, intensity noise, beam jitter, etc.

Thruster system should satisfy range, noise, bandwidth, and durability.

Current status

• There are now 140 members from 50 institutes in DECIGO working group

• Budget request (DECIGO R&D and fabrication of DPF, $20M, 6 years) was rejected.

• We will submit budget request (R&D for DECIGO and DP, $10M, 5-6 years) this year again.

• DPF working group was formally approved by JAXA/ISAS.

• Budget request (R&D for DPF, $65K, 1 year) to JAXA/ISAS was approved.

Summary DECIGO can not only bridge the gap

between terrestrial detectors and LISA, but also open a very deep window at 0.1 – 10 Hz.

DECIGO will use FP arm cavity to further improve the sensitivity.

We have obtained some budget to initiate R&D for DPF.

We hope that we will obtain a bigger budget for DECIGO R&D, and that DPF mission will be approved soon!
