Description
Large liquid argon time projection chambers (LAr TPCs) at SBN and DUNE will provide an unprecedented amount of information about GeV-scale neutrino interactions. By taking advantage of the excellent tracking and calorimetric performance of LAr TPCs, we present a novel method for estimating the neutrino energy in neutral current interactions that significantly improves upon conventional methods in terms of energy resolution and bias. We present a toy study exploring the application of this new method to the sterile neutrino search at SBN under a 3+1 model.
