Abstract

Neutrons produced during scattering of muon antineutrinos through charged currents in the ND280 near neutrino detector of the T2K experiment are studied. Based on Monte-Carlo simulations of the beam of accelerator antineutrinos with an energy of ~0.6 GeV, the kinematics of the quasi-elastic interaction is reconstructed. Energy and angular distributions of neutrons are obtained, their detection efficiency is calculated using a method accounting for the particle time of flight.
