Abstract

Neutrino interaction cross section measurements are of high importance, in improving understanding for both oscillation measurements and nuclear modelling. The T2K experiment features a near detector complex with multiple detectors, providing multiple different nuclear targets at differing mean neutrino energies due to the off-axis configurations used. Along with constraining the flux for oscillation measurements, these near detectors provide the opportunity for a large programme of neutrino cross section measurements. Some recent such measurements are described in this proceeding.

Highlights

  • T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) [1] is a long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiment situated in Japan, designed to make precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters

  • Along with constraining the flux for oscillation measurements, these near detectors provide the opportunity for a large programme of neutrino cross section measurements

  • This is achieved by studying the disappearance of muon neutrinos and appearance of electron neutrinos at the far detector Super-Kamiokande, in a beam of muon neutrinos created at the J-PARC accelerator complex in Tokai
