First muon-neutrino disappearance study with an off-axis beam

The group that Ratoff leads in Lancaster built the downstream electromagnetic calorimeter module of the T2K experiment's near detector which was used to constrain the neutrino flux prediction expected in the far detector (SuperKamiokande). He was involved in many aspects of the design, funding and construction of the calorimeter and one of his PhD students (Tom Maryon) worked under his supervision on the offline track and shower reconstruction algorithms for the calorimeter. Some event selection checks for this analysis used data from the calorimeter. A Lancaster PDRA (Grant) made substantial contributions to the oscillations analysis procedure.
