Description
T2K is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, where a muon neutrino beam is produced at the J-PARC facility and detected by Super-Kamiokande, a water Cherenkov detector with a 22.5 kton fiducial mass, after traveling 295 km. One aim of the experiment is to precisely determine the mixing angle theta_23 and the mass squared difference Delta m^2_23 using a measurement of muon neutrino disappearance. The T2K accumulated dataset is 6.57e20 protons on target, which is 8% of the experimental goal. In this talk, we will present an analysis of the T2K muon neutrino disappearance data and the world’s best constraint on the value of the mixing angle theta_23 obtained by this analysis. Future prospects, including running with antineutrino-mode beam and continued analysis improvements, will also be shown.
