Neutrinos News
New T2K experiment public web pageThe T2K Collaboration has a new public web page. It includes a lot of information not only about the experiment itself, but about neutrino physics. You can find it at http://t2k-experiment.org/. |
IFAE in the NewsThe local and national press media echoed the recent electron neutrino appearance results announced by the T2K collaboration on June 15 2011. IFAE researchers have played a very visible role in obtaining this result, both in the construction of the apparatus and in the data analysis. |

The T2K experiment, whose primary purpose is to study neutrino interactions at a large distance from their source, has detected 6 electron neutrino candidate events based on the data collected before March 11, 2011. For the first time, it was possible to observe an indication that muon neutrinos are able to transform into electron neutrinos over a distance of 295 km through the quantum mechanical phenomena of neutrino flavor oscillations.
The IFAE neutino group has actively contributed to the analysis in several aspects of the near detector data analysis for flux normalization and systematic cross-checks. A Candidate Event of Electron Neutrino at T2K

T2K sees the first neutrinos at the on-axis near detectorPhysicists from the Japanese-led multi-national T2K neutrino collaboration announced on November 24th that over the weekend they detected the first events generated by their newly built neutrino beam at the J-PARC accelerator laboratoy in Tokai, Japan. |
