Neutrino energy reconstruction from one muon and one proton events

Abstract

We propose a new method of selection of high purity charge current quasielastic neutrino events with a good reconstruction of interacting neutrino energy. Performance of the method was verified with several tests using GENIE, NEUT and NuWro Monte Carlo events generators with carbon and argon targets. The method can be useful in neutrino oscillation studies with a few GeV energy beams.
