Description

A fine-grained, water-based liquid scintillator detector to replace the current passive water + plastic scintillator target in FGD2 in the T2K ND280 tracker system would allow the direct tracking of low energy hadrons emitted by neutrino interactions on oxygen. We are currently building a 1-cell prototype using the WbLS developed at BNL to test for light output.
