Sensitivity of the T2K accelerator-based neutrino experiment with an Extended run to $20\times10^{21}$ POT

2016
Recent measurements at the T2K experimentindicate that CP violationin neutrino mixing may be observed in the future by long-baseline neutrino oscillationexperiments. We explore the physics program of an extension to the currently approved T2K running of $7.8\times 10^{21}$ protons-on-target to $20\times 10^{21}$ protons-on-target,aiming at initial observation of CP violationwith 3$\,\sigma$ or higher significance for the case of maximum CP violation. With accelerator and beam line upgrades, as well as analysis improvements, this program would occur before the next generation of long-baseline neutrino oscillationexperiments that are expected to start operation in 2026.
