TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the importance of Near Detector facilities in LBN experiments to both constrain the systematic uncertainties affecting oscillation analyses but also to perform, thanks to their close location, measurements of broad benefit for LBN physics goals.
Abstract: With the discovery of non-zero value of $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle, the next generation of long-baseline neutrino (LBN) experiments offers the possibility of obtaining statistically significant samples of muon and electron neutrinos and anti-neutrinos with large oscillation effects. In this document we intend to highlight the importance of Near Detector facilities in LBN experiments to both constrain the systematic uncertainties affecting oscillation analyses but also to perform, thanks to their close location, measurements of broad benefit for LBN physics goals. A strong European contribution to these efforts is possible.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss a proposal to enhance the LBNF physics programs at Fermilab with the addition of a high-resolution magnetized detector at the near site.
Abstract: The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) offers an unprecedented intensity for neutrino physics. We discuss a proposal to enhance the LBNF physics programs at Fermilab with the addition of a high-resolution magnetized detector at the near site. The detector is largely based upon reusing an existing superconducting magnet and electromagnetic calorimeter, supplemented with a new low-density straw tube tracker. We also discuss the physics opportunities of the proposed design for the long-baseline oscillation analysis, as well as for precision measurements of (anti)neutrino interactions.
