Selection of the Neutrino Induced Charged Current Single Pion Events with the T2K Near Detector
ORAL
Abstract
In order to calculate the neutrino induced charged current single pion production on water a two-track event selection in the T2K near detector has been developed. High purity muon tagging was done by requiring its minimum range in the detector and a negative charge. Pion candidate was selected by applying dE/dx based particle identification technique. Event selection has been applied to the simulated data from water-in and water-out detector running modes and preliminary values of 72$\%$ and 77$\%$ of the observable CC1$\pi$ purities were achieved. Preliminary results on the event selection optimization and performance as well as on the systematic errors related to the detector modeling are presented.
