Description

Neutrino scattering events with low hadronic recoil (low-nu events) have been used to understand the shape of the neutrino flux by various experiments including MINERvA. In this poster, we will show a novel method using low-nu events to understand the neutrino flux and detector energy scale and how MINERvA uses this sample to discover and fix the mismodeling of detector energy scale in the medium energy run.
