It is well established that a Near Detector positioned within 1 km of the muon decay pipe at a Neutrino Factory is essential for a true determination of the neutrino flux, necessary for the neutrino oscillation signal. Here we present a method for the the extraction of the oscillation probability parameters using the Near Detector, in combination with a long baseline Far Detector and demonstrate that by using this method, the sensitivity to oscillation parameters is maintained down values of {theta}{sub 13} one order of magnitude lower than the current world limit.
