In this document, we present the Technical Design Report of Upgrade T2K Near Detector ND280. The goal upgrade is to improve performance measure neutrino interaction rate and constrain cross-sections so that uncertainty in number predicted events at Super-Kamiokande reduced about 4%. This will allow physics reach T2K-II project. achieved by modifying upstream part detector, adding a new highly granular scintillator detector (Super-FGD), two TPCs (High-Angle TPC) six TOF planes.

Abstract The ENUBET project is aimed at designing and experimentally demonstrating the concept of monitored neutrino beams. These novel beams are enhanced by an instrumented decay tunnel, whose detectors reconstruct large-angle charged leptons produced in tunnel give a direct estimate flux source. facilities thus ideal tool for high-precision cross-section measurements GeV scale because they offer superior control beam systematics with respect to existing facilities. In this paper, we...
In this document, technical details of the upgrade plan J-PARC neutrino beamline for extension T2K experiment are described. has proposed to accumulate data corresponding $2\times{}10^{22}$ protons-on-target in next decade, aiming at an initial observation CP violation with $3\sigma$ or higher significance case maximal violation. Methods increase beam intensity, which necessary achieve increase,
An upgrade of the near detector T2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment is currently being conducted. This will include two new Time Projection Chambers, each equipped with 16 charge readout resistive Micromegas modules. A procedure to validate performance detectors at different stages production has been developed and implemented ensure a proper reliable operation once installed. dedicated X-ray test bench used characterize by scanning pad individually precisely measure uniformity...
The main source of systematic uncertainty on neutrino cross section measurements at the GeV scale is represented by poor knowledge initial flux. goal cutting down this to 1% can be achieved through monitoring charged leptons produced in association with neutrinos, properly instrumenting decay region a conventional narrow-band beam. Large angle muons and positrons from kaons are measured sampling calorimeter tunnel walls (tagger), while muon stations after hadron dump used monitor component...
Monitored neutrino beams are facilities where beam diagnostics enable the counting and identification of charged leptons in decay tunnel a narrow band beam. These can monitor production at single particle level (flux precision <1%) provide information about energy 10% level. The ENUBET Collaboration has demonstrated that lepton monitoring might be achieved not only by employing kaon decays but also identifying muons from π+→μ+νμ positrons decay-in-flight before hadron dump. As consequence,...

The ENUBET project aims to reduce the flux-related systematics 1% on a narrow band neutrino beam through monitoring associated charged leptons in an instrumented decay tunnel. A key element of is design meson transfer line with conventional magnets that maximize yield K+ and π+ while minimizing total length outside region. In order limit particle rates tunnel instrumentation, high level collimation needed, thus allowing non-decayed mesons reach end At same time, fine-tuning shielding...
