22The Near Detectors II:ND280(OFF Axis)ND280 goal is to measure <strong>the</strong> flux, energyspectrum and νe c<strong>on</strong>taminati<strong>on</strong> beforeoscillati<strong>on</strong>.General purpose to measure: CCνμevents, used for flux normalizati<strong>on</strong> andspectrum predicti<strong>on</strong> for <strong>the</strong> oscillati<strong>on</strong>analysis and detailed cross secti<strong>on</strong> studies;and CCνe events, background to νeappearance.ND280 Magnet & SMRDND280 is built inside <strong>the</strong> old CERN UA1/NOMAD magnet that provides a dipole magneticfield <strong>of</strong> 0.2 T.SMRD (Side Mu<strong>on</strong> Range Detector) c<strong>on</strong>sists<strong>of</strong> 440 scintillator modules inserted in <strong>the</strong> airgaps <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> magnet. It records mu<strong>on</strong>s escapingwith high angles, triggers <strong>on</strong> cosmic ray mu<strong>on</strong>sand helps identifying interacti<strong>on</strong>s in <strong>the</strong>surrounding cavity.ECAL3 different types depending <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> positi<strong>on</strong>:DSEcal, BarrelEcal, P0DEcal.These modules are electromagneticcalorimeters using layers <strong>of</strong> plastic scintillator. Itsrole is to detect phot<strong>on</strong>s complementing <strong>the</strong>inner detectors in full event rec<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>. Theinformati<strong>on</strong> provided by <strong>the</strong> Ecals is relevant forparticle identificati<strong>on</strong> and key in <strong>the</strong> pi0rec<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>.
