Abstract
The T2K experiment is a long baseline, second generation neutrino oscillation experiment located in Japan. Its aim is to measure the $\theta_{23}$ and $\theta_{13}$ neutrino oscillation mixing angles, as well as to make precision measurements of the atmospheric mass squared difference $\Delta m_{23}^2$ . Along with its other commitments, the UK was responsible for the design, assembly, testing and commissioning of the near detector’s electromagnetic calorimeters, as well as the development of the detector’s reconstruction software. Some of the processes by which these objectives were achieved are highlighted within, with a specific focus on physical assembly and testing of the detectors, as well as the development of software designed to estimate the energy of interaction byproducts which arrive in the detector’s fiducial volume.
