Abstract
The FGD (Fine-Grained Detector) is a main part of the T2K near detector ND280. It is made of finely segmented scintillator bars, and acts as the neutrino interaction target as well as a tracking detector. The identification of neutrino interaction types in FGD is important in the neutrino beam measurement at ND280. In this chapter, we report the design, calibration and track reconstruction of FGD.
