Description
The main purpose of the near neutrino detector (ND280) of the long baseline experiment T2K designed for a sensitive search of the muon neutrino into electron neutrino transition is to measure the parameters of the non-oscillated neutrino beam close to the production target. The near detector complex, located in J-PARC at 280 meters from the target, consists of the on-axis INGRID (Interactive Neutrino GRID) detector and the ND280 off-axis detector. The primary purpose of the INGRID is to monitor the beam profile and stability. The off-axis detector includes a pi-zero detector, a tracker (2 fine-grained detectors + 3 time-projection chambers) and electromagnetic calorimeter located inside the UA1 magnet which is instrumented with scintillator detectors. The detailed detector description, its performance in the neutrino beam and obtained results will be presented.
