Abstract
The upgraded ND280 near detector of the T2K experiment will be able to reduce neutrino interaction uncertainties using a configuration of detectors with full polar angle acceptance, improved spatial resolutions, neutron detection capabilities and reduced tracking thresholds. The status and parameters of a new 3D segmented scintillator detector SuperFGD and the expected physics output will be presented.
