Abstract

The T2K experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment which uses νμ\nu_{\mu} and νˉμ\bar{\nu}_{\mu} beams to constrain CP-violating effects in a 3-flavor PMNS neutrino mixing model. Through νμνe\nu_{\mu}\to\nu_{e} and νˉμνˉe\bar{\nu}_{\mu}\to\bar{\nu}_{e} appearance channels, T2K is sensitive to CP-violating effects in neutrino mixing. An excess of νe\nu_{e} candidates in the ν\nu-beam mode is observed when compared to the CP conserving cases. T2K finds a best fit value of δCP=1.970.70+0.97\delta_{\mathrm{CP}}=-1.97_{-0.70}^{+0.97} using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals and excludes CP-conserving values of δCP\delta_{\mathrm{CP}} of 00 and π\pi at the 90% CL. JCP=0J_{\mathrm{CP}}=0 is also excluded at 2σ\sigma when using a flat prior in δCP\delta_{\mathrm{CP}}, favoring negative values.
