Title:     The world's best measurement of theta_{23} from muon neutrino disappearance at  T2K

Abstract: The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) long-baseline neutrino-oscillation is designed to search for nu_e appearance (theta_{13})  and to precisely measure nu_{mu} disappearance (Delta m^2_{23}, theta_{23}) by sampling an off-axis, high purity,  muon neutrino beam.  The neutrinos are detected 295km from production by the Super Kamiokande detector. A near detector 280m from the production target measures the unoscillated beam to improve the precision of the oscillation measurements. In this talk I will present up to date oscillation results from T2K focusing on the disappearance measurement which gives the world's most precise measurement of the neutrino mixing angle theta_{23}.
