Outline of Final Research Achievements

The main purpose of this research is to analyze observational data of gravitional wave detection experiment KAGRA in Japan and to search for gravitational wave events. We also contributed to simultaneous/follow-up observations by collaborating with various astronomical observations such as electromagnetic radiation and neutrinos.
Through them, we pursued the discovery and science of gravitational waves, and trained young human resources for gravity wave data analysis in Japan.
