Cryogenic Laser Interferometer

Overview

CLIO has many interferometers. One is a laser interferometer with 100m baseline for GW detector. The others are three interferometers with 100m baseline for geophysics.

Sensitivity

CLIO displacement sensitivity has reached thermal noise levels of the mirror substrate and its suspension wires at the room temperature. At present, we are trying to demonstrate these thermal noises will be reduced by cooling mirrors and suspension wires.

Data Quality

Data gaussianity of CLIO is better than TAMA300 (preliminary result).
