Description
The Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment.
An intense neutrino beam from the J-PARC facility in Tokai will be sent
295 km across Japan towards the Super Kamiokande detector in Kamioka.
T2K is expected to start taking data in 2009.
The main objectives of the first stage of the T2K experiment are the search of muon into electron neutrino oscillation and a precision measurement of theta_23 and Deltam2_23.
Compared to the current experimental results, one order of magnitude
improvement in all three measurements are expected.
The properties of the neutrino beam at Tokai, before it can oscillate,
will be studied by the ND280 experiment.
This poster will give an overview of the T2K experiment and its goals.
