In the T2K experiment a νμ is produced at the J-PARC proton accelerator and detected in the water Cherenkov detector, Super-Kamiokande. The direction of the incoming neutrino is known, but not its energy Eν. Consider the ‘quasi-elastic’interaction νμ + n → μ° + p. The energy Eμ of the muon and its direction θμrelative to that of the incoming neutrino are measured. How much is Eν if Eμ = 0.5 GeV and θμ = 30°?
