Neutrino tagging: a new tool for accelerator based neutrino experiments
Abstract This article describes a new experimental method for accelerator based neutrino experiments called neutrino tagging. The method consists in exploiting the neutrino production mechanism, the decay, to kinematically reconstruct the neutrino properties from the decay incoming and outgoing char...
