Description
The T2K experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment aiming to discover CP violation in neutrino mixing. A new detector, SuperFGD, has been installed in the near detector since October 2023 to reduce systematic errors in the neutrino oscillation analysis. It consists of about 2 million 1 cm scintillator cubes, about 56,000 wavelength shifting fibers penetrating them from three directions, and an equal number of photodetector MPPCs. The SuperFGD recorded its first neutrino beam data in December 2023. We report about the assembly and commissioning of the unique detector.
