T2K (Tokai to Kamioka)
T2K, or Tokai to Kamioka, is a groundbreaking scientific experiment in Japan that studies neutrinos, which are tiny subatomic particles that are difficult to detect. The experiment sends a beam of neutrinos from the Tokai facility to the Super-Kamiokande detector located 295 kilometers away in Kamioka. By observing how these neutrinos change from one type to another during their journey, scientists aim to learn more about their properties and the fundamental laws of physics. This research helps us understand the universe better, including the mystery of why matter exists.
