Description
The T2K neutrino oscillation experiment has been taking data since the beginning of the year, and several neutrino beam events have been observed in the Super-K detector, 295 km from the J-Parc accelerator and the ND280 detector. The main goals of the experiment are to measure the disappearance of muon neutrinos and the appearance of electron neutrinos, as well as precise measurements of neutrino-nucleon interactions. A positive appearance signal would make it possible to search for neutrino CP-violation. The expected sensitivity to oscillation parameters are presented in the context of the many unanswered questions that prevail in the neutrino sector of the standard model
