    T2K goals

    Initial Goals

    • Refine νµ disappearance:

    P(νµ → νµ) ' 1− cos4 θ13 sin2 2θ23 sin2 Φ23≡ 1− sin2 2θµτ sin2 Φ23

    • Measure νe appearance:

    P(νµ → νe) ' sin2 θ23 sin2 2θ13 sin2 Φ23≡ sin2 2θµe sin2 Φ23

    Where:

    Φij ≡∆m2ij L

    =1.27(∆m2ij/eV

    2)(L/km)

    E/GeV

    Future Goals

    • Refine νe appearance• IF νµ → νe is sufficiently large:

    • look for CPV with ν̄µ beam

    ACP =P(νµ → νe)− P(ν̄µ → ν̄e)P(νµ → νe) + P(ν̄µ → ν̄e)
