Reduction of thermal noise limiting sensitivity is targeted using sapphire mirrors and sapphire suspension fibers. 2. Stable operation is expected owing to the low seismic noise of KAMOIKA mine. - Seismic noise at the Kamioka mine is 1/100 lower than that at a city area. - Cooled sapphire mirrors around 20K CLIO operation using cryogenic mirrors was done Apr.2006 ! CLIO is operated at room temperature for noise hunting. Now Motivation of CLIO : Proto-Type for LCGT
