Description

The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) experiment is designed to measure neutrino oscillation parameters. It uses an almost pure muon neutrino ($\nu_\mu$) beam that originates at J-PARC. INGRID consists with 14 independent modules (7 vertical and 7 horizontal modules) , each of which are composed of iron plates and scintillator planes. The modules make up a cross-shape with center on beam-axis. It measures the $\nu_\mu$ beam direction and intensity. Another detector called Proton Module sits on-axis between the horizontal and vertical modules. The Proton Module is a fully-active tracking detector which is made of layers of plastic scintillator bars. We will present a resent status of the measurements of the $\nu_\mu$ cross sections with these two detectors in the T2K experiment.
