## TL;DR

This paper presents updated measurements of muon neutrino and antineutrino disappearance parameters by the T2K experiment, using 1.5×10^{21} protons on target, finding no significant differences between neutrino and antineutrino oscillation parameters.

## Contribution

The paper provides the most recent measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters from T2K, with improved precision and separate analysis for neutrinos and antineutrinos.

## Key findings

- Measured $	heta_{23}$ and $	riangle m^2_{32}$ for neutrinos and antineutrinos.
- Found no significant difference between neutrino and antineutrino disappearance parameters.
- Results are consistent with the three-flavor neutrino oscillation model.

## Abstract

We report measurements by the T2K experiment of the parameters $\theta_{23}$ and $\Delta m^{2}_{32}$ governing the disappearance of muon neutrinos and antineutrinos in the three flavor neutrino oscillation model. Utilizing the ability of the experiment to run with either a mainly neutrino or a mainly antineutrino beam, the parameters are measured separately for neutrinos and antineutrinos. Using $7.482 \times 10^{20}$ POT in neutrino running mode and $7.471 \times 10^{20}$ POT in antineutrino mode, T2K obtained, $\sin^{2}(\theta_{23})=0.51^{+0.08}_{-0.07}$ and $\Delta m^{2}_{32} = 2.53^{+0.15}_{-0.13} \times 10^{-3}$eV$^{2}$/c$^{4}$ for neutrinos, and $\sin^{2}({\overline{\theta}}_{23})=0.42^{+0.25}_{-0.07}$ and ${\Delta\overline{m}^2}_{32} = 2.55^{+0.33}_{-0.27} \times 10^{-3}$eV$^{2}$/c$^{4}$ for antineutrinos (assuming normal mass ordering). No significant differences between the values of the parameters describing the disappearance of muon neutrinos and antineutrinos were observed.
