In the past decade neutrino physics has made tremendous progress by measuring neutrino oscillations in various channels. The next major milestone is to better determine the size of the last unknown mixing angle theta13 which describes the mixing between the 1st and 3rd generation. Not only is the value of theta13 of interest itself to understand the underlying oscillation physics but its value is also critical for future searches for CP violation in the neutrino sector.
The T2K (Tokai to Kamioka) project is the first off-axis long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment to measure theta13 by looking for the appearance of electron type neutrinos in a muon neutrino beam. Commissioning of the T2K experiment started in April 2009 and first neutrino event candidates have been observed. In this presentation I will describe the setup and the recent status of the T2K experiment.
