Reconstruction of Energy Spectra of Neutrino Beams Independent of Nuclear Effects: Prospects for Current Experiments

Abstract

The energy spectrum of a neutrino beam in the few-GeV region is free of uncertainties from nuclear effects when reconstructed via neutrino-hydrogen interactions. On a multinuclear (hydrogen containing) target such interactions can be extracted using transverse kinematic imbalance. We discuss the prospects of this technique for current experiments.
