$\nu _e $ from K$^{+}$ Decay in SciBooNE
ORAL
Abstract
The MiniBooNE experiment reported no evidence of the $\nu _\mu $ to $\nu _e $ oscillation detected in the LSND experiment. A source of uncertainty in the MiniBooNE result is the calculated K$^{+}$ flux normalization used to determine the incident neutrino beam. SciBooNE, a finely segmented neutrino detector designed to measure neutrino cross-sections, was placed in the same neutrino beam upstream of MiniBooNE. It is possible to use high energy $\nu _e $ events detected in SciBooNE to place a constraint on the K$^{+}$ flux normalization in the neutrino beam. A study of the high energy $\nu _e $ events in SciBooNE will be presented.
