T2K near detector integration

由东海新建的高强度质子加速器(J-PARC)产生的中微子束将对准295公里外的神冈超级神冈探测器。该实验旨在对中微子振荡和中微子质量进行精确研究。T2K合作是一个由来自12个国家的约400名合作者组成的国际合作。2006年，NSERC获得了一笔拨款，用于在东海站点建造三个关键探测器，即光学跃迁辐射束监测器、时间投影室(TPC)和细粒探测器(FGD)，以研究送往神冈的中微子束。OTR探测器目前正在安装中，为2009年4月的第一次中微子束做好准备。第一批FGD和TPC探测器在TRIUMF束流线上进行束流测试。它们将于2008年6月运往日本进行安装。第一次物理实验计划在2009年12月进行。

A neutrino beam produced by a newly built high intensity proton accelerator (J-PARC) in Tokai will be aimed at Super-Kamiokande detector in Kamioka 295 km away. The experiment aims at a precision study of the neutrino oscillation and neutrino mass. The T2K collaboration is an international collaboration of about 400 collaborators from 12 countries. In 2006, an NSERC grant was awarded to construct three key detectors at Tokai site, the optical transition radiation (OTR) beam monitor, time projection chamber (TPC), and fine grained detector (FGD) to study the neutrino beam that is sent to Kamioka. The OTR detector is currently being installed to be ready for the first neutrino beam in April 2009. The first FGD and TPC detectors are in the TRIUMF beam line for beam tests. They will be shipped to Japan in June 2008 for installation. The first physics run is scheduled in December 2009.
