G1808317-v1 INVITING EXPERTS FROM LIGO-VIRGO COLLABORATION KIWAMU IZUMI KAGRA EXTENDED CHIEF MEETING AT TOYAMA UNIV. (MAY 28, 2018)
TO GET THE THINGS GOING INTENSIVE COMMISSIONING ACTIVITIES WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT YEAR. ONCE O3 STARTS, THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE THAT KAGRA CAN INVITE A NUMBER OF COMMISSIONING EXPERTS FROM LIGO-VIRGO COLLABORATION. IN FACT, SOME COMMISSIONERS PERSONALLY EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN COMING OVER TO KAGRA TO HELP THE COMMISSIONING ACTIVITIES. WE NEED TO SECURE SOME BUDGET TO BE ABLE FOR US TO INVITE THE EXPERTS.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR OPINIONS ON WHO DO WE WANT TO INVITE? WHEN DO WE WANT TO INVITE THEM? HOW DO WE APPLY FOR THE EXCHANGE PROGRAM --- SEPARATELY (SUBGROUP-BASED) OR JOINTLY?
BUDGET SOURCES JSPS PROGRAMS ICRR INVITED PROFESSORSHIPS (E.G., PROF. STEFAN BALLMER) NEWS (C2C) WITH THE EUROPE. POSSIBLE TWO-COUNTRY PROGRAM WITH US(?) LET US KNOW IF YOU KNOW MORE THAN THESE In any case, we should be able to specify the names of the visiting researchers when Applying for any of those programs, tentatively by this summer.
IN CASE OF VIRGO COMMISSIONING VIRGO INVITED A FEW COMMISSIONING EXPERTS FROM LIGO: DENIS MATRYNOV (2017, A FEW MONTHS) KIWAMU IZUMI (2016, A MONTH) THESE ARE FUNDED WITHIN THE EUROPE. LIGO DIDN T PAY FOR IT.
