Abstract
Recent neutrino oscillation results have shown that the existing long baseline experiments
have some sensitivity to the effects of CP violation in the neutrino sector. This sensitivity is
currently statistically limited, but the next generation of experiments, DUNE and Hyper-K,
will provide an order of magnitude more events. To reach the full potential of these datasets
we must achieve a commensurate improvement in our understanding of the systematic uncertainties that beset them.
This talk describes two proposed intermediate detectors for the current and future long
baseline oscillation experiments in Japan, TITUS and NuPRISM. These detectors are discussed in the context of the current T2K oscillation analysis, highlighting the ways in which
they could reduce the systematic uncertainty on this measurement. The talk also describes
the short baseline oscillation sensitivity of NuPRISM along with the neutrino scattering
measurements the detector makes possible.
