Title
Exploring the Early Universe with Particles and Gravitational Waves
Abstract
Since the detection of cosmic rays in 1912, major developments in particle physics had been led by many discoveries of new particles in cosmic rays and even after accelerators took over the frontiers, cosmic rays still remain to be an important field in particle physics and cosmology. Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) has revolutionized the measurement precision by 1 order of magnitude improvement and is charting new territory since the installation on the International Space Station in 2011.
Recently, Gravitational Waves (GW) have been directly discovered 1 century after the prediction by Einstein and they are expected to open a new window to explore the early Universe and test the General Relativity at extreme conditions. Large Cryogenic Gravitational-wave Telescope, also known as KAGRA is a Asian-based project to join the world wide GW detector network in the coming years.
In my talk, I will introduce recent results and next steps of AMS, and current status and future prospects of KAGRA.
