Professor Federico Sanchez re-elected as International Co-spokesperson of the T2K Experiment
Congratulations to Professor聽Federico Sanchez from the聽DPNC聽(Particle Physics Department) who has been re-elected for a second term聽as International Co-spokesperson of the聽International collaboration T2K.聽
聽T2K (link to聽t2k-experiment.org)聽is a neutrino experiment designed to investigate how neutrinos change from one flavor to another as they travel (). An intense beam of muon neutrinos is generated at the聽聽on the East coast of Japan and directed across the country to the聽聽neutrino detector in the mountains of western Japan. The beam is measured once before it leaves the J-PARC site, using the near detector聽, and again at Super-K: the change in the measured intensity and composition of the beam is used to provide information on the properties of neutrinos.
The T2K collaboration published a year ago in Nature the first indication of the violation of the neutrino anti-neutrino symmetry. (link to聽/sciences/physique/physics-section/news/crack-mirror-nature/)听
