Description

The T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) is a long baseline neutrino experiment designed to study various parameters that rule neutrino oscillations, with an intense beam of muon neutrinos. A near detector complex (ND280) is used to constrain non-oscillated flux and hence predict the expected number of events in the far detector (Super-Kamiokande). The difference in the target material between the far (water) and near (scintillator, hydrocarbon) detectors leads to the main non-cancelling systematic uncertainty for the oscillation analysis. In order to reduce this uncertainty a new water grid and scintillator detector, WAGASCI, has been proposed. Magnetized Iron Neutrino Detector (Baby-MIND) is Muon Range Detector (MRD) for WAGASCI experiment in T2K. The Baby-MIND modules are composed of magnetized iron and the long plastic scintillators bars which are read out with wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers. Event reconstruction resides in selecting tracks above the certain threshold in length. Analyzing the vertex allow us to reconstruct the hadronic component of interactions. New frontend board CITIROC was created for readout of Baby-MIND. The bar elements and frontend board were tested with cosmic rays and on with beam at T9 CERN the results are reported.
