List of uncertainties:

⇒ energy scale

⇒ FC event selection

⇒ Particle ID

⇒ Ring counting

⇒ Fiducial volume

⇒ Angular resolution

⇒ Threshold

⇒ Events θ > 90 degree.

Summary • Multi component K2K near detector system is es

sential to understand the neutrino beam and interactions.

• In the JHF-Kamioka neutrino project, the near detector system should be similar to the K2K system.

• However, in JHF, the distance between the target and the near detector should be > 2km.
