None None, USDOE Office of Science (SC), High Energy Physics (HEP) · 2020
We present a selection of events containing π 0 particles in the MicroBooNE detector.These events are used to understand the important pi0 background in the deep learning (DL) based electron low energy excess (e-LEE) analysis.The selection uses a new shower reconstruction algorithm based on tools in the DL reconstruction chain.We present the efficiency and energy resolution of the selection.We also present the planned use of these events in energy calibration using the reconstructed π 0 mass.This document was prepared by MicroBooNE Collaboration as a result of the use of facilities of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), which are managed by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC (FRA), acting under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359.Neither FRA, DOE, the U.S. Government, nor any person acting on their behalf: (a
