Plans for super-beams in Japan

Understand

In Japan, as the first experiment utilizes J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) neutrino facility, T2K (Tokai to Kamioka Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment) starts operation.

• T2K is supposed to give critical information, which guides the future direction of the neutrino physics.
• Possible new generation discovery experiment based on T2K outcome is discussed.
• Especially, description of J-PARC neutrino beam upgrade plan and discussion on far detector options to maximize potential of the research are focused.
