T2K Results Restrict Possible Values of Neutrino CP Phase

April 15, 2020

The T2K Collaboration has published in Nature new results showing the strongest constraint yet on the parameter that governs the breaking of the symmetry between matter and antimatter in neutrino oscillations.

First particle tracks seen in prototype for international neutrino experiment

September 18, 2018

The largest liquid-argon neutrino detector in the world has just recorded its first particle tracks, signaling the start of a new chapter in the story of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).

T2K presents hint of CP violation by neutrinos

August 4, 2017

The international T2K Collaboration strengthened its previous hint that the symmetry between matter and antimatter may be violated for neutrino oscillation. A preliminary analysis of T2K’s latest data rejects the hypothesis that neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate with the same probability at 95% confidence (2σ) level
