Abstract: 

T2K is a long-baseline neutrino experiment that measures neutrino oscillations. Oscillation of the muon (anti)neutrino beam to electron (anti)neutrinos is sensitive to the leptonic CP violating phase. In this talk, I will discuss the  addition of a new electron neutrino signal sample at T2K's far detector,  which can improve T2K's sensitivity to the CP-violating phase. I will also talk about how the systematic errors at T2K's far detector are estimated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques, along with some outlook to future studies.
