A measurement of the electron neutrino component in the T2K beam using the tracker detectors and the electromagnetic calorimeter at the near detector ND280

Starting with a muon neutrino (vμ) beam T2K is searching for electron neutrino (ve) ap- pearance in the Far Detector (Super-Kamiokande) and aims to produce the first measure- ment of the neutrino mixing angle e13. Beam contamination of Ve is one of the main background components. The Near Detector,...
