Description
The T2K near detector suite at 280m distance from the J-PARC neutrino production target (ND280) consists of an on-axis detector (INGRID), and a set of tracking and scintillator detectors inside a 0.2T magnetic field, positioned at the same off-axis angle as the Super-Kamiokande far detector (P0D, SMRD, TPCs, FGD and ECALs). The ND280 detectors will be described, and examples of their performance during the initial neutrino data-taking runs will be reported.
