K2K near detector laserball calibration : manipulator motivation, design and results

The K2K experiment uses a muon neutrino (v[sub μ]) beam generated at the KEK accelerator facility, aimed at Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) detector 250 km away, to measure v[sub μ] oscillations first seen from atmospheric v's at Super-K. The measurement is done using two detectors. The near dete...
