T2K (Tokai to Kamiokanda) project is a long baseline (295 km) neutrino scillation experiment scheduled for data taking late 2009. The T2K collaboration is a truly international efforts with hundreds of accelerator scientists and particle physicists in North America, Europe and Asia contributing. The primary goal of the experiment is to measurs for the first time the mixing angle θ₁₃ by observing the appearance of electron-type neutrinos from an initial beam of muon-type neutrinos that have traveled 295km of subterranean Japan. T2K will provide a high intensity neutrino beams starting from J-PARC (Tokai) and operating at energies that will maximise the probability of oscillations to occur. A near detectors (ND-280) (280 m), close to the neutrino source, will measure the flux/content of the beam to study the beam contamination by other type of neutrinos (ν_e) to reduce systematic effects. The T2K far detector is Super-Kamiokande 50kt water Cherenkov detector. The ν_μ beamline is currently under construction at the JPARC facility. 50GeV protons strike a graphit target producing secondary pions (and kaons) which subsequently decay into muon neutrinos. The JPARC proton beam will be the world's most intense with a design power of 0.75 MW providing 10²¹ protons on target (POT) per year. It will also be the world's first off-axis neutrino beam where the line joining JPARC to SuperK is at an angle of about θ=2 ° with respect to the beam direction. This has the advantage of creating an almost mono-energetic neutrino beam which greatly reduces the backgrounds to the electron neutrino appearance measurement.
