Event Details

The T2K experiment studies the oscillations of a muon neutrino beam produced at the J-PARC accelerator in eastern Japan as the beam travels 295km across the main island to Super-Kamiokande. Observations of muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance in the beam constrain the important atmospheric and reactor neutrino mixing parameters. Operating the beam in reverse polarity to produce antineutrinos allows constraints on CP violation in the lepton sector for the first time. I will review the experimental challenges in understanding neutrino oscillations in the ~1 GeV region and how these impact the determination of oscillation parameters.
