Systematic Uncertainties at the T2K Experiment for Oscillation Measurements

Abstract

The T2K experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with the ability to measure precisely ${\nu }_{\mu }\to {\nu }_e$ and ${\nu }_{\mu }\to {\nu }_{\mu }$ oscillations. Control of systematic uncertainties-dominated by flux and cross section uncertainties-is critical for the precision of these measurements. An analysis of charged current ${\nu }_{\mu }$ interactions at the T2K near detector significantly reduces these uncertainties, from 26.9% to 3.0% for the current ${\nu }_{\mu }\to {\nu }_e$ measurement at T2K.
