Abstract
T2K is a long-baseline experiment which has been designed to measure neutrino oscillations. A high intensity beam of muon neutrinos is produced at the J-PARC accelerator complex and sent towards the near detector station (280 meters away from the neutrino source) and the far detector Super-Kamiokande (295 km). The change in the measured intensity and composition of the beam is used to provide information on the oscillation parameters. The T2K experiment has discovered electron neutrino appearance with a significance of 7.3σ, measured the associated θ13 mixing angle and provided the first hint for the δCP phase. T2K has also delivered the world’s best measurement of the θ23 angle by looking at the disappearance of muon neutrinos. Several useful neutrino cross section measurements have also been performed by the T2K experiment. A summary of the recent oscillation measurements as well as selected cross section results are presented.
