2D Grid method
– Bin data in reconstructed Eν & y
– Fit weight as a function of true Eν & y
Near to far ratio– Look at differences between data and MC in Near
Detector as a function of reconstructed Energy
– Apply correction factor to each bin of re-constructed energy to Far Detector MC: c = ndata / nMC
Beam matrix– It uses the measured Near Detector distribution and
extrapolates it using a BEAM Matrix to the Far Detector.

Near detector(s) are some distance (d~30-1000 m)
from the end of straight section of the muon storage ring. Muons decay at different points of straight section: near detector is
sampling a different distribution of neutrinos to what is being seen by the far detector

Efficiency very low: 3.5% for D0, D+ and 12.7% for Ds
+ detection because fiducial volume very small (72cmx36cmx15cm), only 5 layers and only one projection.
From 109 CC events/yr, about 3.1x106 charm events, but efficiencies can be improved with 2D space points (ie. Pixels) and more measurement planes
For example: 52 kg mass can be provided by 18 layers of Si 500 m thick, 50 x 50 cm2 (ie. 4.5 m2 Si) and 15 layers of B4C, 5 mm thick (~0.4 X0)
Fully pixelated detector with pixel size: 50 m x 400 m 200 M pixels Double sided silicon strips, long ladders: 50 cm x 50 m 360 k pixels

Active Pixels MAPS or DEPFET) or strips. Synergy with other fields such as Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) collaboration.
2) Tracking: gas TPC (is it fast enough?), scintillation tracker (same composition as far detector), drift chambers?, cathode strips?, liquid argon (if far detector is LAr), …
3) Particle identification: dE/dx, Cherenkov devices such as Babar DIRC?, Transition Radiation Tracker?

ConclusionsConclusions There is important synergy between existing (or planned) experiments
such as MINOS and T2K and the technology for future near detectors. Cross-sections and fluxes remain an issue. Learning the techniques that these experiments are adopting helps to formalise the problem that we will face at a neutrino factory.
A near detector at a neutrino factory needs to measure flux and cross-sections with unprecedented accuracy. Beam diagnostic devices need to be prototyped
It is worth noting that the beams measured by a near detector if it is close to straight sections (<100m) are quite different from far detector. However, at 1 km, beams start to look very similar.
We should start having some idea of what a near detector should look like. One proposal is to use the old UA1 magnet (like in NOMAD and T2K) once more.
The near detector should have a vertex detector, tracking planes, particle identification, calorimetry and muon identification. The dipole filed between 0.4-0.7 T can provide good muon momentum resolution.
R&D plans are not very well defined at the moment
