Abstract

The nature of neutrinos is still being discovered. Observations from recent years have suggested that the analysis of these particles may bring us closer to understanding why the universe is primarily composed of matter. In order to study their properties, two powerful detectors were built. The close ND280 detector is located in Tokai, Japan. The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) and Super-Kamiokande are also located there, i.e. 295 km from the J-PARC center, in a mine inside a mountain in the town of Kamioka. These places gave name to the T2K experiment – Tokai-to-Kamioka, which may bring us closer to explaining the difference between the observed amount of matter and antimatter in the universe.
