Abstract	Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments rely on detailed models of neutrino interactions on nuclei. These models constitute an important source of systematic uncertainty, partially because detectors to date have been unable to detect final state neutrons. A novel three-dimensional projection scintillator tracker will be a component of the upgraded off-axis near detector of the T2K experiment. Due to the good timing resolution and fine granularity, this technology is capable of measuring neutron kinematics in neutrino interactions on an event-by-event basis and will provide valuable data for refining neutrino interaction models. A prototype is exposed to the neutron beamline at Los Alamos National Laboratory with neutron energies between 0 and 800 MeV. In order to demonstrate the capability to measure neutron kinematics, the total neutron–scintillator cross section as a function of the neutron kinetic energy is measured.
