Technologies in ND280 5 Scintillator Detectors Plastic scintillator bars Wavelength shifting fibres Kuraray Y11, 1 mm diameter MPPCs Multi-Pixel Photon Counters. 1.3x1.3mm 667 pixels First large scale deployment of MPPCs. Readout via 2 electronics types TRIPT (Ingrid, P0D, ECAL, SMRD) AFTER (FGD) TPC Readout via micromegas 72 modules 34.2x35.9 cm 2 Pads : 7x9.8mm 2 Micromega module MPPC Response Charge Counts

The ND280 Off-Axis Detector 10 Understanding the beam o  Flux and Spectrum o e Beam Contamination o Neutrino Cross-Sections beam

Off-Axis Detector Design  Refurbished UA1 Magnet  0.2 T field  Fine Grained Detectors (FGDs)  Neutrino target region for the tracker.  TPCs  Particle Tracking  , e measurements  P0D  Measure NC  0 rate  ECAL  Surrounds tracker and P0D.  Capture and measure EM energy  Only the DS ECAL in Run 1  SMRD  Muon ranging instrumentation in the magnet yoke 11

Key Features of the Off-Axis detector 12 Tracker Region High precision tracking with a magnetic field. Provides excellent momentum resolution for charged particles. Excellent particle identification dE/dx in the TPC Further particle ID in the ECAL and FGD ECAL surrounding the tracker Capture all the energy leaving the vertex. P0D Specialised for the measurement of NC  0 s, a key T2K background. Water and Carbon targets for determination of cross sections on multiple materials. Key point for T2K as SK target is water.

The FGDs 13 Fine-Grained detectors Alternating x-y planes of scintillator bars. 9.6x9.6x1844 mm 8448 channels 0.24% bad channels Acts as the neutrino target for the tracker. Good vertexing Identification of short primary tracks. FGD1 Upstream Scintillator Only FGD2 Downstream Includes water target Extract rate on water by comparing both FGDs. FGD water target

FGD Vertices 14 Beam Centre The FGD contains the primary vertex for tracker events.

FGD Particle Identification 15 PID in the FGD is crucial for identification of short tracks from the vertex. Use DE/DX information for PID. Separate protons and muons. Examine tracks that stop in the FGD Michel Electrons Cosmics Beam Data

The TPC 16 3 TPCs interleaved with the 2 FGDs Readout via micromegas 1726 pads per module readout channels 0.13% bad channels Provide detailed tracking information 700  m point resolution at full drift distance. Momentum resolution 7% at 1GeV

dE/dx in the TPC 17 Negative Tracks Muon Control Sample Positive Tracks Negative Particles 400 < p < 500MeV dE/dx information in the TPC provides a very powerful PID tool. Can separate muons/pions from electrons and protons with high precision. Crucial for e analysis due to high muon rate from beam composition.

The ECAL 18 Surrounds the tracker (FGD/TPC) and the P0D Collects particles leaving those regions. Lead scintillator sandwich 1x4 cm bar cross section Readout via wavelength shifting fibres and MPPCs Channels on 336 TFBs in 13 modules 35 (0.16%) bad channels. Downstream ECAL installed in 2009 Present in all data Calibrated in testbeam at CERN Barrel ECAL and P0D ECAL installed in summer Present only in run 2 data.

ECAL Energy 19 Determine photon and electron energy. Needed to reconstruct all the energy leaving the neutrino interaction. Detector response calibrated via muons. Normalise to minimum ionising particle at normal incidence. Correcting for attenuation in the fibre. EM Energy proportional to total charge collected.  Testbeam Electrons Bar response to muons Date

Particle Identification in the ECAL 20 Provides an independent PID to DE/DX in the TPC. Improved purity Further reduction to muon backgrounds. Cross checks. Use a neural net based on the shape and charge distribution of a cluster. Verified with: Testbeam data Cosmic events Beam induced muons 600 MeV Electrons Sand Muons

The P0D 21 Optimised to detect neutral current  0 s. 33.5(B)x17.25(H) mm triangular bars Lead and brass radiators channels 0.07% bad channels Water target designed for operation with water in/water out.

Impact of the Earthquake on ND The Near Detector was running when the Earthquake struck in March The UPS maintained power and systems shut down as UPS power was used up. UPS batteries have been replaced. Since the earthquake all near detector subsystems have been powered up and cosmic data has started to be collected. Damage to the subsystems is minor. Work will be carried out over the summer to recommission the detector. The near detector will be ready to start collecting data with the beam in December.

Physics Analysis at ND Currently only available from T2K run 1 data. Analysis of run 2 data is ongoing. First ND280 Analyses: Inclusive  rate Input to oscillation analysis via beam normalisation FGD+TPC Inclusive e rate Verification of beam prediction. FGD+TPC ND280 has a rich physics program to come. For more details talk by D. Brook-Roberge on Thursday.

 CC Event Selection at ND Inclusive Analysis, just uses the muon. CCQE analysis is more complex, will be used in the future. Require No track in TPC1 Vertex in FGD1 and at least 1 track p>50MeV in TPC 2 Select highest momentum track TPC dE/dx consistent with muon. If no tracks in TPC2, repeat with FGD2/TPC3 combo TPC1 FGD2FGD1 TPC2TPC3 Beam DSECAL Selection Efficiency

 CC Inclusive measurement 28 Muon Momentum Muon Direction Systematics include TPC Tracking efficiency,Detector matching dE/dx distribution Backgrounds T2K Run 1 = 2.88x10 19 pot

Measurement of the Beam e component. 29 Unlike  analysis there are significant backgrounds: Muons Need very good PID Electrons Interactions from e are not the only source of electrons. External Backgrounds Beam induced gammas that shower in the FGD Run 1 analysis Uses FGD+TPC combination Require Vertex in FDG fiducial volume No track in upstream TPC Most energetic track is negative and electron like TPC PID is crucial M inv < 100 MeV if 2 tracks Photon rejection 0 < p < 2000 MeV

e Inclusive Measurement 30 We carry out a maximum likelihood fit to signal and background Background dominated by real electrons Fit gives 8 beam e events. T2K Run 1 = 2.88x10 19 pot

Conclusions 31 The T2K near detector suite is working well The near detector survived the earthquake and will be ready for data taking when JPARC resumes operations in December First results from the near detector are available and are used in T2K oscillations analyses In the future additional near detector information will be added to the oscillation analyses. Neutrino cross section measurements will be produced.
