Study of [muon neutrino] disappearance in the T2K experiment
A Vμ disappearance analysis performed on the dataset collected during the first physics run of the T2K experiment is presented. This dataset represents an accumulated exposure of 3.23 x10¹⁹ protons on target (POT). A total of eight events passed all the selection criteria at the far detector, Super-...

A Vμ disappearance analysis performed on the dataset collected during the first physics run of the T2K experiment is presented. This dataset represents an accumulated exposure of 3.23 x10¹⁹ protons on target (POT).

A two flavor neutrino oscillation fit was performed with systematic uncertainties using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method and a Bayesian approach. The sin² 2θ23 oscillation parameter was constrained to the physical region.
