La Thuile , 20-27 March 2011

We express our thanks for warm massagesand supports after the earthquake in 11Mar 2011.

Fortunately LCGT has no human loss from the unprecedented disaster.

Earthquake and tsunami destroyed cities and life along the Pacific coast of Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures.

Nuclear power plant in Fukushima lost emergency power supply for cooling system by tsunami.Nuclear fission chain reaction was stopped by the quake. Reactor core and spent fuel overheated. -> crisis

The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake

A massive earthquake of magnitude of 9.0 occurred Friday 11March, off the Pacific coast of the northeastern part of the Japanese Main island, causing devastating damages.The Japan Meteorological Agency named this earthquake “The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake”.

Date and Time: 11 March 2011 14:46JST(05:46UTC)Magnitude: 9.0 (The largest earthquake recorded in Japan)Hypocenter: 130km off the Pacific coast of Tohoku region, from Iwate to Ibaraki prefecture, 24km depth

CLIOMC lost lock within a few seconds. This situation was lasting more than one hour.

No serious damage.

Influences of earthquake

• The restoration of devastated area affects apolicy and budget condition of the government.Influence for scientific projects are currentlyunpredictable.

• Electric shortage causes a severe factor ofsuppressing activities for industries and life.Also research activity of universities andinstitutes are mostly forced to stop at present.

• We should do our best to keep the plannedschedule of construction as well as the start ofa run in 2017.

International collaborations with other projects• LIGO laboratory

– Attachment agreed under existing MOU between ICRR (representsLCGT collaboration) and LIGO laboratory.

– Manpower, software and technique exchanged.• VIRGO

– MOU with attachment between VIRGO (EGO+Virgo collaboration )and ICRR was signed.

• GEO– MOU between ICRR and GEO people is also conceived.

• ET– Cooperative research vibration isolation and cryogenics.

• SUCA (China)– MOU between ICRR and Shanhai Normal University, SUCA is on

the process of agreement.• Korea

– Collaboration with Korean researchers is conceived.

Status of LCGT cryogenics

Basic requirements for cryogenic system

Temperature of the test mass/mirror : 20 [K]

Cool the mirror without introducing excess noise, especially vibration due to cryocooler.

Construction plan of LCGT cryogenics

• Construct a prototype by the end of 2012fy in order todemonstrate the performance of cooling system andinvestigate interface to other subsystems.

• Real cryostat and cooling system will construct in theperiod of conversion from iLCGT to bLCGT.

• Mirror chambers of iLCGT are built as vacuum chamberfor the operation at 300 K. The mirror chamber of iLCGTwill be replaced by the real cryostat.

• In the budget for cryogenics until 2012fy, some criticalcomponents of cryocooler unit will be purchased inprecedence. It may prevent unavailability of componentsagainst withdrawal business .
