Abstract

I describe how the TNT2K (Tokai and Toyama to Kamioka) configuration with a muon decay at rest (μ\muDAR) add-on to T2(H)K can achieve better measurement of the leptonic Dirac CP phase δD\delta_D. It has five-fold advantages of high efficiency, smaller CP uncertainty, absence of degeneracy, as well as guaranteeing CP sensitivity against non-unitary mixing (NUM) and non-standard interaction (NSI). In comparison to the flux upgrade with T2K-II, the detector upgrade with T2HK, and the baseline upgrade with T2HKK, TNT2K is a totally different concept with spectrum upgrade to solve the intrinsic problems in current and next generations of CP measurement experiments. With a single μ\muDAR source, TNT2K is much cheaper and technically much easier than the DAEδ\deltaALUS proposal. The latter needs three sources that cannot run simultaneously and consequently requires much higher fluxes. The single μ\muDAR source at TNT2K also allows a single near detector (μ\muNear) to fully utilize the neutrino flux for the purpose of constraining NUM, but this is impossible at DAEδ\deltaALUS with three spatially separated sources.
