 \subsection{Off-axis beam}
 \label{subsec:OffAxisBeam}
+The kinematics of the pion decays dictate the energy spectrum shape of the neutrinos.  Specifically, the peak width of the neutrino energy narrows and shifts as an observer moves off-axis from the pions trajectory.  As the pions are the neutrino parents in the T2K beam, the same effect can be seen by moving off-axis from the neutrino beam.  This effect is illustrated in Fig.BLAH.  By positioning T2K's baseline detectors at 2.5$^\circ$ off-axis, it is possible to align the neutrino beam's peak energy with the first oscillation maximum for the $\nu_\mu$ disappearance channel.  Separately, an off-axis configuration reduces the beam's unwanted high energy tail, improving sensitivity to $\nu_e$ appearance and $\nu_\mu$ disappearance.

-\section{Monte Carlo event simulation}
+The T2K experiment uses a bespoke software suite for simulation and analysis of ND280 data which is based on the ROOT framework~\cite{Brun199781}.  The vast majority of the ND280 software suite utilies these oaEvent library which provides a unified framework for information manipulation and was specifically designed for this purpose.
+As ND280 consists of many subdetectors each providing a specific function, the ND280 software suite is designed to reflect this.  Not only are there specific software modules for individual subdetectors, there are specific modules for each phase of the subdetector information processing e.g. trip-T calibration, TPC reconstruction etc.  \newline
+As the software suite handles both production of simulated data and the processing of collected data, there are sections of the processing chain which are specific to type of data being processed.  While the Monte Carlo simulation and real data do see different areas of the software chain, the general philosophy is to maniuplate the Monte Carlo or the real data to a point where they can be treated as equals and them process them in the same manner.  So, the description of the software will follow the same path: the Monte Carlo and real data specifics will be discussed first and then the unified treatment will follow.
