QE and Non-QE muon neutrino events in the NO$\nu$A prototype detector
ORAL
Abstract
The NO$\nu$A long$-$baseline neutrino experiment will search for oscillations of muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos. In order to test the various systems of the experiment, the collaboration built a prototype Near Detector On the Surface (NDOS), at Fermilab, $6^{\circ}$ off the NuMI beam axis. NDOS collected data that are being analyzed in order to get a better understanding on the production of muon neutrinos coming from Kaon decays, by studying the charged current interaction events. As part of this analysis two sets of events where identified: QE and Non$-$QE events. I will present the selection criteria for these sets, as well as sample events for each set, in order to show the detection capabilities of the detector for charged current interactions.
