  3. 1995 Proposed to study neutrino oscillation for atmospheric neutrinos anomaly. 1999 Started taking data. 2000 Detected smaller number of neutrinos than the expectation at a distance of 250 km. Disfavored null oscillation at the 2s level. 2002 Observed indications of neutrino oscillation. The probability of null oscillation is less than 1%. 2004 Confirm neutrino oscillation with both a deficit of nm and the distortion of the En spectrum. 1. Introduction and history of K2K

  15. K2K observed forward m deficit. A source is non-QE events. For CC-1p, Suppression of ~q2/0.1[GeV2] at q2<0.1[GeV2] may exist. (0.1GeV2 value comes from fitting 2 track nonQE sample in SciBar) For CC-coherent p, The coherent p may not exist. We do not identify which process causes the effect. The MC CC-1p (coherent p) model is corrected phenomenologically. Oscillation analysis is insensitive to the choice. DATA CC 1p CC coherent-p A hint of K2K forward m deficit.
