Summary:
A mandatory milestone in view of any future long baseline experiment is an industrial prototyping of the assumed detector and its experimental characterization. WA105 is aiming concrete prototyping effort of double-phase liquid argon TPC towards the envisioned large-scale detectors world wide, and an accompanying campaign of measurements aimed at assessing the systematic errors that will be affecting their intended physics programs based on various detector technologies.

Summary:
The knowledge of the neutrino interaction cross-section is one of the largest and most complicated systematics for present and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. As an example, LBNF aims at an impressive total systematic uncertainty of 1%, while the uncertainties due to neutrino cross-section in T2K are today larger than 5%.
The aim of this project is to exploit the data from the T2K near detectors (ND280, INGRID) to improve the precision on neutrino interaction modeling. Moreover a dedicated water scintillator detector (WAGASCI) is being constructed to be installed on the same beamline.
