Scientific paper

Neutrino oscillations were discovered by atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments, and have been confirmed by experiments using neutrinos from accelerators and nuclear reactors. It has been found that there are large mixing angles in the $\nu_e \to \nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau$ oscillations. The third mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, which parameterizes the mixing between the first and the third generation, is constrainted to be small by the CHOOZ experiment result. The T2K experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that uses intense neutrino beam produced at J-PARC and Super-Kamiokande detector at 295 km as the far detector to measure $\theta_{13}$ using $\nu_e$ appearance. In this talk, we will give an overview of the experiment.
