Research Abstract |
There are many ongoing efforts in the world aiming at first detection of gravitational waves, including KAGRA (Large-scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope) which is under the construction in Kamioka mine. Given the upcoming gravitational wave experiments, this research aimed to provide theoretical prospects for detection of gravitational waves from the early Universe. This research have investigated gravitational waves from several origins, and showed how direct detection experiments can help understanding the physics of the early Universe.
