Energy reconstruction in the Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment

Understand

The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment aims at measuring fundamental physical parameters to high precision and exploring physics beyond the standard model.

• Nuclear targets introduce complications towards that aim.
• We investigate the uncertainties in the energy reconstruction, based on quasielastic scattering relations, due to nuclear effects.
• The reconstructed event distributions as a function of energy tend to be smeared out and shifted by several 100 MeV in their oscillatory structure if standard event selection is used.
