Sumario:The T2K project, the first superbeam long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment connecting 295 km between the J-PARC 50 GeV Proton Synchrotron at Tokai and Super-Kamiokande, was approved and beam-line construction at Tokai has been started towards the commissioning scheduled in early 2009. A tunable off-axis neutrino beam will enable us to observe the nu/sub e/ appearance signal, and thus to explore a finite theta/sub 13/ value, the last unknown mixing angle in the MNS matrix, in five years of its phase-I operation.
