Abstract:

T2K is an accelerator-based long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment which produces a high-intensity neutrino beam using the J-PARC accelerator and detects neutrino events before and after propagation to the Super-Kamiokande far detector. The T2K neutrino beamline can produce both muon neutrino and anti-neutrino beams, and T2K has the sensitivity to probe unknown phenomena, such as electron anti-neutrino appearance and CP violation in the lepton sector, using these beams.

In 2018, T2K reported an indication of CP violation at 2 sigma after collecting 2.62x10^21 protons on target (POT). Since then, additional anti-neutrino-mode beam data taken during March-May 2018 have been analyzed.

In this seminar, the results of neutrino oscillation measurements made with the T2K data collected so far (1.49x10^21 POT in neutrino-mode +1.63x10^21 POT in anti-neutrino-mode) will be presented. Future prospects of measurements using the J-PARC neutrino beam will also be shown.
