Observation of ν_μ→ν_e Oscillation in the T2K Experiment by Kei Ieki.

<p>In this thesis the author contributes to the analysis of neutrino beam data collected between 2010 and 2013 to identify νμ→νe events at the Super-Kamiokande detector. In particular, the author improves the pion–nucleus interaction uncertainty, which is one of the dominant systematic error s...
