Its main goal is to measure the last unknown lepton sector mixing angle theta(13) by observing nu(e) appearance in a nu(mu) beam. It also aims to make a precision measurement of the known oscillation parameters, Delta m(23)(2) and sin(2)2 theta(23), via nu(mu) disappearance studies. Other goals of the experiment include various neutrino cross-section measurements and sterile neutrino searches. The experiment uses an intense proton beam generated by the J-PARC accelerator in Tokai, Japan, and is composed of a neutrino beamline, a near detector complex (ND280), and a far detector (Super-Kamiokande) located 295 km away from J-PARC. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the instrumentation aspect of the T2K experiment and a summary of the vital information for each subsystem.", optnote="WOS:000297826100016", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=832), last updated on Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:56:00 +0000", issn="0168-9002", doi="10.1016/j.nima.2011.06.067", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1106.1238", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2011.06.067", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1106.1238", language="English" }
