Event description: 

The T2K experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan. As the only place we have seen physics beyond the standard model, neutrino oscillations open up a number of questions about the nature of neutrinos and their role in the universe. T2K is making measurements of neutrino oscillations with unprecedented precision, as well as making measurements of neutrino interactions and searching for exotic processes. I will summarize the experiment design and many of the recent results.
