    The T2K experiment measures muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance in accelerator-produced neutrino and antineutrino beams. With an exposure of 14.7(7.6)×102014.7(7.6)\times 10^{20} protons on target in neutrino (antineutrino) mode, 89 νe\nu_e candidates and 7 anti-νe\nu_e candidates were observed while 67.5 and 9.0 are expected for δCP=0\delta_{CP}=0 and normal mass ordering. The obtained 2σ2\sigma confidence interval for the CPCP violating phase, δCP\delta_{CP}, does not include the CPCP-conserving cases (δCP=0,π\delta_{CP}=0,\pi). The best-fit values of other parameters are sin2θ23=0.5260.036+0.032\sin^2\theta_{23} = 0.526^{+0.032}_{-0.036} and Δm322=2.4630.070+0.071×103eV2/c4\Delta m^2_{32}=2.463^{+0.071}_{-0.070}\times10^{-3} \mathrm{eV}^2/c^4.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
