These studies demonstrate good energy resolution, and good agreement between data and simulation, relying on the reconstructed invariant π 0 mass and other photon distributions for validation. The reconstruction techniques developed are applied to a selection of ν μ + Ar → μ + π 0 + X candidate events to demonstrate the potential for calorimetric separation of photons from electrons and reconstruction of π 0 kinematics.
