T2K

In Japan, the T2K experiment will study an off-axis neutrino beam, sent 295 km from the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (JPARC) to the SuperKamiokande detector. The new facility under construction in Tokai, Japan has a high-power 50 GeV proton synchrotron. The aim of T2K is to use this high-intensity proton beam to generate an intense number of muon neutrinos. Data collection is expected to start at the end of the decade.
