Description

T2K (Tokai to Kamioka) is a Japan-based long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to measure (anti)neutrino flavor oscillations. A neutrino beam peaked around 0.6 GeV is produced in Tokai and directed toward the water Cherenkov detector Super-Kamiokande, which is located 295 km away. A complex of near detectors is located at 280 m and is used to constrain the flux and cross-section uncertainties by measuring the neutrinos before oscillations. Along with improved measurements of the oscillation parameters to which it is most sensitive, T2K started a campaign to measure the phase 𝛿𝐶𝑃 that can provide a test of the violation or conservation of the CP symmetry in the neutrino sector. The most recent results will be discussed in this talk along with the future prospects of the experiment.
