Abstract

The Japanese gravitational wave proposal, LCGT (Large-scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope), is to construct a 3km underground interferometer with cryogenic mirrors in the Kamioka Mine. CLIO (Cryogenic Laser Interferometer Observatory) is a 100m-baseline underground cryogenic interferometer built at the same site to serve as a bridge connecting CLIK (7m-baseline prototype cryogenic interferometer) and the planed LCGT. The site of CLIO is near the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector. The tunnel for CLIO was dug in 2002, and a strain meter for geophysics was installed in the same tunnel in 2003. CLIO was installed in 2005 and the operation started in 2006.
