abstract:
The past decade or two have seen many experimental discoveries in the
field of neutrino physics, starting with the fact that they indeed do
possess mass, rendering incorrect their description in the Standard
Model.
Further exciting discoveries in the past year have dramatically altered
our view of the area of neutrinos, with both accelerator- and nuclear
reactor-based experiments announcing results that allow us to home in on
the full neutrino mixing matrix, and look forwards at how we can use the
lepton sector to further explore the world beyond the Standard Model.
I will give a brief overview of the state of the field of neutrino
oscillations and then describe the Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) Experiment,
which has been running for just over two years. I will then introduce
our recent results and discuss them in the current context of the field,
and present our expectations and prospects for the future.
