T2K experiment--the Quest for Neutrino Oscillations
December 11th 2010 03:23
T2K experiment is a second generation long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment to study nature of neutrinos. An intense off-axis beam of muon neutrinos from Japan J-PARC facility is directed towards the Super-Kamiokande detector, which is 295 km away.
The main goal of T2K is to measure the oscillation of νμ to νe and to measure the value of θ13,one of the parameters of neutrino mass mixing. It hopes to investigate the phenomenon of "neutrino oscillations" by looking for "muon neutrinos" oscillating into "electron neutrinos".
The experiment will take data in 2011-2013. Non-zero neutrino mass and how neutrino mass mixing would affect the evolution of the Universe in observable ways. It may explain why the universe is made of matter rather than anti-matter and what is dark matter in universe. The video below gives a brief introduction of neutrinos.
