Description
The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) is a 26-ton gadolinium-doped water Cherenkov detector situated 100 meters downstream in Fermilab's Booster Neutrino Beam. ANNIE’s main physics goal is to measure the final state neutron multiplicity of neutrino-nucleus interactions. This measurement will improve our understanding of these complex interactions and help reduce the associated systematic uncertainties, thus benefiting the next generation of long-baseline neutrino experiments. ANNIE has several years of beam data. This poster covers the initial phases of event reconstruction and characterization of neutron multiplicity as a function of momentum transfer. Techniques, such as ringing imaging to extract muon vertex and other methods for energy reconstruction, are discussed.
