Description
The T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment located in Japan that utilizes an intense off-axis beam of muon neutrinos incident on the Super-Kamiokande detector. A near detector located 280 m from the beam origin characterizes the beam energy and composition before the neutrinos travel the 295 km to Super-Kamiokande. One of the subdetectors comprising the near detector is the Pi-Zero Detector (P0D), a plastic-scintillator based detector that has been optimized for the detection of 0 mesons produced in neutrino interactions. A description of the P0D, as well as its performance over the first T2K run period will be presented.
