The T2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment is running in Japan. The primary goals of the T2K are measurement of the mixing angle θ
13 , and precise measurements of the mixing angle θ23 and of the mass difference Δm²23 . The installation of the near detector complex was completed and first data were already registered. This article presents operation of the Side Muon Range Detector, a component of the Off-Axis near detector. Detector concept and implementation are presented, followed by a description of cosmic muon track reconstruction algorithm and finally current status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
