May 14th 2004RD42 collaboration meeting4 In a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, it’s necessary to monitor the direction, the profile and the intensity of the neutrino beam. 1.2 motivation on spill-by-spill basis The neutrino beam can be monitored on spill-by-spill basis by measuring the secondary muons coming from pion decay A muon monitor is needed (In K2K, silicon pad detectors and ion chamber are used as muon monitors) proton Target

May 14th 2004RD42 collaboration meeting5 1.2 motivation(cont.) In T2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, the muon beam intensity is expected to be 1000 times more than K2K In K2K, aboutIn T2K, about Radiation hardness Radiation hardness for silicon detectors will become a problem Test whether a diamond detector is useful as a muon monitor - A diamond detector is installed to K2K muon monitor
