Title:The Latest on Neutrinos from T2K
Host: Svoboda
Room: 285
Abstract: The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) experiment uses an intense beam of muon neutrinos sent 295 km across Japan to the Super-Kamiokande detector to study fundamental properties of neutrinos, in particular the mixing of neutrino mass and flavor eigenstates which leads to neutrino oscillations. In addition to studying the appearance of electron neutrinos sensitive to the mixing parameter theta13, T2K can make precise measurements of theta23, which governs muon neutrino to tau neutrino conversion. I will report on the latest results from T2K, in particular the recent measurements of theta23 and future prospects for precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters
