One of the most promising investigations of
beyond-the-Standard-Model physics has been the study of neutrino
oscillation, that is, the conversion of neutrinos from one flavor to
another as they propagate. While neutrino oscillation is studied in a
wide variety of laboratories, the strongest constraints on the
neutrino oscillation mixing parameters, theta23 and Dm2(32) come from
long...

Measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters have improved markedly in the last three years, with recent results from T2K casting the first light on possible CP violation in the lepton sector. For these oscillation measurements, systematic errors are becoming as important as the statistical error, and neutrino cross section uncertainties are a major contributor to the total systematic...

Super Kamiokande is a large water Cherenkov detector that is used to detect neutrino interactions and measure neutrino oscillation parameters. In Super Kamiokande charged particles are identified by classifying the rings of Cherenkov light, traditionally as either electron-like with a fuzzy ring edge, or as muon-like with a sharp ring edge. A maximum likelihood reconstruction algorithm now...

The neutrino oscillation measurement made by the Tokai-To-Kamioka (T2K) experiment
relies greatly on the measurements of the neutrino flux and cross sections
from its near detector, ND280.
This measurement will be even more crucial when T2K operates
with an anti-neutrino beam to investigate CP violation in the neutrino sector.
In this mode, the muon neutrino component of the beam will be...

The neutrino oscillation measurements performed by the
Tokai-To-Kamioka (T2K) experiment are dependent on the energy spectrum
of the neutrino beam, as well as neutrino cross section model
parameters. Measurements made at the near detector (ND280) provide
important constraints on these quantities. This talk will discuss how
these constraints are derived from ND280 measurements, and show...
