Abstract

The T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to probe the θ 13 neutrino mixing parameter by looking for the appearance of ν e in an almost pure ν μ beam. The concurrent measurement of the ν μ disappearance allows refined measurements of the atmospheric Δm 2 and θ 23 mixing parameters.
