Abstract:
T2K is a second generation long baseline neutrino experiment to probe
the masses and mixing of the muon neutrino with other species.  It is
the first long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment proposed and
approved in the world to look explicitly for 
electron neutrino appearance from muon
neutrinos, thereby measuring $\theta_{13}$, the last unknown mixing
angle in the lepton sector. T2K will use Super-Kamiokande 
as the far detector to measure neutrino rates at a distance of 295 km 
from the J-PARC accelerator. The experiment requires
construction of a neutrino beam line, a near detector complex at 280~m
(ND280) to measure the unoscillated flux, and, if possible, 
an intermediate detector at 2 km from the proton beam target. 

I will discuss the physics goals of the T2K experiment and present the 
current status of the experiment. I will also present the U.S. participation 
in the experiment in some detail.
