Abstract
KamLAND announced the first evidence of ν̄e disappearance, followed by direct evidence for neutrino oscillation by observing distortion of the reactor ν̄e energy spectrum, demonstrated almost two cycles of the periodic feature expected neutrino oscillation, and determined a precise value for the neutrino oscillation parameter Δm122 and stringent constraints on θ12. KamLAND also succeeded in detecting geoneutrinos produced by natural radioactivities in the Earth. This detection allows better estimation of the abundances and distributions of radioactive elements in the Earth and of the Earth's overall heat generation. In the J-PARC neutrino facility, T2K is ready for operation. T2K is supposed to give critical information, which guides the future direction of the neutrino physics. The current status of T2K is shown.
