Abstract
The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) is a next generation neutrino oscillation experiment currently proposed for construction in the United States with the main goal of studying muon (anti)neutrinos oscillations into electron (anti)neutrinos over a distance greater than 1000 km and over a wide range of neutrino energies. Its main physics results will be the precision measurement of δCP and all three mixing angles. A value of δCP different from 0 or π will appear in the LBNE data as a small (0% to 40%) asymmetry on the oscillation probability of neutrinos versus antineutrinos. Such a small effect requires a very good control of the systematic uncertainties affecting the measurement and this can only been accomplished using a near detector. I will describe the LBNE near detector complex focusing primarily on its reference design, which includes a set of muon detectors to monitor the beam and a magnetized liquid argon TPC surrounded by a muon identifier detector to measure neutrino interactions at the near site.
