【 摘 要 】

The Tokai-To-Kamioka (T2K) experiment was designed to measure the oscillation of muon neutrinos produced at the J-PARC accelerator in Japan. The Super-Kamiokande detector acts as the far detector and a near detector is installed in the path of the neutrino beam to reduce uncertainties on the flux and cross sections. This near detector, called ND280, is located 280 m from the production target of the T2K neutrino beamline in order to measure the characteristics of the beam prior to any oscillation. The first ND280 analysis of the momentum-angle distribution of the muon produced by muon neutrino charged current interactions has been performed. These results have also been used to determine a flux-averaged cross section.
