2 T2K and ν e appearance First experiment since SNO attempting to measure neutrino appearance Sensitive to θ 13 m P(ν µ ν e ) sin 2 2θ 13 sin 2 θ 23 sin E 2 L Produce a beam of ν µ from pion decay Energy GeV Measure ν e flux at 295 km from the source 2

3 T2K sensitivity to δ CP when combined T2K by % precision for ν e appearance to reactor data Reactor data 5% precision Combine setting δ CP =π/2 (arbitrary) 3

4 T2K ν e appearance data may help resolve mass hierarchy δ CP =π/2. T2K needed Inverted hierarchy minimum χ 2 δ CP =3π/2. NOVA good enough on its own 4

5 T2K also measures ν µ disappearance Atmospheric oscillation First seen by Super-K then MINOS Probe m 32 and θ 23 m P(ν µ ν x µ ) sin 2 2θ 23 sin E Test maximal mixing 2 L 5

23 ν e Signal & Background at SK Oscillation Signal: ν μ ν e e - Beam ν e Background: ν e e - p (undetected) Identical for given neutrino energy. Beam background has harder spectrum MC p (undetected) MC Neutral Current π 0 : ν l π 0 γ γ Can be removed by identifying second photon ring N+others (undetected) 23

24 Lets look at neutrino data Run 1 and 2 in 2010/2011 Accelerator performing well Beam resumed in January 2012 Data not included in what follows Run 1 Run 2 24

25 Oscillation analysis strategy Predict neutrino flux Calculate un-oscillated spectrum at near detector Include cross-section uncertainty Extrapolate spectrum to Super-K Un-oscillated ν µ flux Background ν e flux Extract oscillation parameters by comparing extrapolation to Super-K data 25

26 Neutrino Flux Prediction Inputs: Proton beam monitor Hadron production in target Modeled with FLUKA Reweighted using NA61 data (mock up of T2K target at CERN) Out of target propagation GEANT 3 Phys. Rev. C (2011) 26

27 ND280 CC ν μ sample No tuning to flux or cross section applied CC ν µ candidates in FGD1 or FGD2 Negatively charged long track in TPC assumed to be lepton Identification by de/dx Require 1 additional track Agreement data / Monte Carlo rather good Scale factor: R(data/MC) = ± (stat) (detector sys) ± (xsec model) 27

33 Summary T2K = neutrino beam + near detector + far detector All operational T2K ν µ disappearance data Consistent with previous atmospheric and MINOS data T2K ν e appearance First appearance measurement since SNO Consistent with latest reactor neutrino data Provide additional constraints to δ CP and hierachy when combined to reactor and upcoming NOVA data 33

34 Complete recovery from Earthquake First neutrinos post earthquake 2012/02/27 34

35 Outlook Next few years Highest precision ν µ disappearance result Improve ν e appearance result Combine with other experiments Measured cross-sections at near detector Reduce systematic errors for oscillation analysis May run in anti-ν mode to prepare for Hyper-K Long term Ramp up beam power to 750 kw Hyper-K Precision determination of dcp and constraints on mass hierarchy + other physics 35
