Particle Physics Seminar

"First T2K Neutrino Oscillation Results"

Presented by Clark McGrew, Stony Brook University

Thursday, April 7, 2011, 3:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

T2K is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment using a 2.5 degree off-axis neutrino beam from the JPARC to produce a narrow band neutrino spectrum. In addition to the beam facility, the experiment uses a set neutrino detectors located at JPARC to determine the unoscillation beam properties and the Super-Kamiokande detector at a distance of 295 km. The primary goal is to search for electron neutrino appearance from a muon neutrino beam which would demonstrate a non zero theta_13 mixing angle. In addition, T2K will make a precision measurement of the "atmospheric neutrino oscillation" parameters. I will summarize the status of the T2K experiment and present results from the 2010 search for electron neutrino appearance.
