First Antineutrino Oscillation Results from T2K

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2016-05-06 v1

Abstract

As limits improve on the neutrino mixing angles and mass-squared differences, the focus of T2K has shifted towards studying antineutrino oscillation. This will give an insight into CP violation (if P(νˉμνˉe)\mboxP(νμνe)\bar{\nu}_{\mu} \rightarrow \bar{\nu}_{e}) \neq \mbox{P}(\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_e)) and CPT violation (if P(νˉμνˉμ)\mboxP(νμνμ)\bar{\nu}_{\mu} \rightarrow \bar{\nu}_{\mu}) \neq \mbox{P}(\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_{\mu})) in the lepton sector. This poster summarises the most recent T2K antineutrino oscillation results, from data collected using a νˉμ\bar{\nu}_{\mu}-enhanced neutrino beam corresponding to 4.01×10204.01 \times 10^{20} protons on target (roughly 1/31/3 of the total protons on target collected by T2K). We present world-leading measurements of Δmˉ322\Delta \bar{m}^2_{32} and sin2θˉ23\sin^2\bar{\theta}_{23} and the first analysis of νˉe\bar{\nu}_e appearance from T2K. Both results use a Bayesian oscillation analysis based on a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method in which data from the near detector and far detector are fit simultaneously.
