Description
The T2K accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment aims at measuring the νμ → νe oscillation channel with great precision. Ideally, a mono-energetic pure muonic neutrino beam should be used. The neutrino flux is made from the decay of hadrons produced by the interactions of a 31 GeV/c proton beam colliding onto a long carbon target. As a result, the flux exhibits a broad energy range, and is contaminated by electron and wrong-sign neutrinos. Being able to predict accurately the neutrino flux is one of the biggest challenges of the T2K experiment, the method currently used by the collaboration is presented here, together with future improvements.
