Description

In a Japanese interferometric cryogenic gravitational-wave detector, KAGRA, its mirrors will be cooled down in order to reduce thermal noise. Only cryostats containing the mirrors will be cooled down while beam ducts and vibration isolation system are kept at room temperature. Thus, thermal radiation through holes on radiation shield is problematic. To reduce this thermal radiation, pipe-shaped radiation shields called duct shields will be installed. Here, we will report calculation and measurement of thermal radiation through the actual KAGRA duct shield.
