Description
Neutrino physics is entering the liquid argon era, and these experiments
offer large statistics with excellent reconstruction abilities.
The wealth of information available opens new opportunities
to break degenaracies between different sources of systematic uncertainty
by simultaneously fitting samples selected for different final state topologies.
At near detectors, use of many such samples can pin down specific
interaction model and flux uncertainties, while for far detectors
smaller numbers of fitted topologies can be used to separate event types
with better and worse neutrino energy resolution, optimising oscillation sensitivity.Neutrino physics is entering the liquid argon era, and these experiments
