Idea of T2K was born 1999-2001 hep-ex/0106019 combining:

  • - existing SuperKamiokande detector (50kton W.Č., 22.5 kton fiducial)

excellent mu/e separation esp. in the sub-GeV region.

  • - JAERI-KEK Japanese Proton Accelerator Research Complex

(JPARC) at TOKAI including a high power, 0.75MW/30GeV Proton Synchrotron neutrino beam from pion decay π+ →µ+ νµ

  • - baseline 295 km neutrino energy for first maximum is ~650 MeV

achievable by pion-decay beam at 2.5 degrees off-axis

  • - designed for νµ→νe appearance search

(discovered in 2011-13); now main aim is CPV

  • - Off axis beam narrow spectrum

peak energy given by off axis angle

  • - Hadron production spectrum

measured at CERN (SHINE/NA61)

  • - thin target (used, 10% on flux)
  • - replica target (will be used, 5%)

The Off-Axis Near Detector monitors event rates (vs flavour, kinematics, topology)

  • +- *not* functionally identical to FD
  • +- but covers full muon momentum
  • +- and extracts details of interactions
  • -- mostly forward muons

Fine grain detector of light material

  • - one FGD has 50%water layers
  • - Scintillators with MPPC readout

(60’000 channels!)

  • - TPC tracker in 0.2T magnetic field

Neutrino interaction model

Model of single muon events (CC0π) are constrained to data. This is very effective for νµ. Additional errors remain for νe -- interplay of lepton mass, thresholds and nuclear effects

T2K flux + near detector event rates are used to predict the event rates at far detector for any set of oscillation parameters within syst. errors FHC (Forward Horn Current) (h+ focus) neutrino beam RHC (Reverse Horn Current) (h- focus) anti-neutrino beam 1-ring = quasi-elastic interaction 1-ring + 1 decay electron = CC1π candidate) Binding energy effect is constrained by νµ events at ND280, but not for νe

Near detector upgrade

motivations:

  • 1. θ13 is large! syst. dominate
  • 2. Lots learned from running!
  • - missing: good coverage of

large angle leptons

  • - also e/γ separation and

PID within target replace upstream part of detector include large angle TPCs surrounding a 3D readout fine grain scintillator detector SFGD (keep FGDs and forward TPCs) allows full scattering angle coverage with magnetic tracking SFGD target performance should allow e/γ separation + investigation of low momentum protons and neutrons beautiful test beam in 2018 Submitted to JPARC PAC and CERN SPSC approved (NP07 at CERN) installation to start in 2021 to take data with upgraded beam in 2022.

26 Comments:

  • - if 3.4σ NH evidence persists, T2K-II + NOvA will not be far from 5σ by 2026.
  • - HK saturation at 8σ driven by assumptions on systematic errors.

strong effort and support to reduce these

  • - ND280 upgrade,
  • - Further NA61 measurements
  • - New IWC near detector (E61)

  • 1. By combination of fluxes taken at different angles,

generate a quasi-monochromatic beam

  • 2. by the same combination of data generate the

Energy Response Function
