2Alain Blondel T2K latest results and prospects
Idea of T2K was born 1999-2001 hep-ex/0106019 combining:-- existing SuperKamiokande detector (50kton W.Č., 22.5 kton fiducial)
excellent mu/e separation esp. in the sub-GeV region.
-- JAERI-KEK Japanese Proton Accelerator Research Complex (JPARC)at TOKAI including a high power, 0.75MW/30GeV Proton Synchrotronneutrino beam from pion decay π+ →µ+ νµ
-- baseline 295 km � neutrino energy for first maximum is ~650 MeVachievable by pion-decay beam at 2.5 degrees off-axis
-- designed for νµ→νe appearance search
(discovered in 2011-13);
now main aim is CPV
-- Off axis beam � narrow spectrum
peak energy given by off axis angle
-- Hadron production spectrum
measured at CERN (SHINE/NA61)
-- thin target (used, 10% on flux)
-- replica target (will be used, 5%)

sin δ term is CP violatingcos δ term is not.
sensitivity to δ (precision on δ measurement) is driven by sin δ term if δ is close to 0 or π � rate asymmetry νe vsνecos δ term if δ is close to ±π/2 � E shift, common to νe andνe
different systematics!
Beam delivery has been steadily improving to 500kW beam power.
Run started in 2009, interrupted by Giant Earthquake (2011) and rad incident (2013)
Recent run mostly in anti-neutrino (50% more statistics wrt neutrino 2018 results)

Neutrino interaction model
Model of single muon events (CC0π) are constrained to data. This is very effective for νµ .
Additional errors remain for νe -- interplay of lepton mass, thresholds and nuclear effects
T2K flux + near detector event rates are used to predict the event rates at far detector
for any set of oscillation parameters within syst. errors
FHC (Forward Horn Current) � (h+ focus) � neutrino beam
RHC (Reverse Horn Current) � (h- focus) � anti-neutrino beam
1-ring = quasi-elastic interaction
1-ring + 1 decay electron = CC1π candidate)
Binding energy effect is constrained by νµ events at ND280, but not for νe
( binding energy)

FUTURE PROSPECTS … LOTS!
T2K + Wagasci-Baby-MIND full detector to run in spring 2019
SK was open in 2018 starts again in March 2019

Near detector upgrade
motivations:
1. θ13 is large! � syst. dominate
2. Lots learned from running!
-- missing: good coverage of
large angle leptons
-- also e/γ separation and
PID within target
� replace upstream part of detector include large angle TPCs surrounding a 3D readout
fine grain scintillator detector SFGD (keep FGDs and forward TPCs)
� allows full scattering angle coverage with magnetic tracking
� SFGD target performance should allow e/γ separation
+ investigation of low momentum protons and neutrons
beautiful test beam in 2018�
Submitted to JPARC PAC and CERN SPSC
� approved (NP07 at CERN)
installation to start in 2021
to take data with upgraded beam in 2022. Alain Blondel T2K latest results and

Comments: -- if 3.4σ NH evidence persists, T2K-II + NOvA will not be far from 5σ by 2026.
-- HK saturation at 8σ driven by assumptions on systematic errors.� strong effort and support to reduce these
-- ND280 upgrade, -- Further NA61 measurements-- New IWC near detector (E61)
