Abstract

Using the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) at Fermilab’s Booster Neutrino Beam, we examine samples of charged current events from neutrino scattering on argon with exactly two or with any number of protons in final states with no other hadrons except neutrons. We described the particle identification method employed for protons, and we compare measured kinematic distributions of muons and protons to predictions from several Monte Carlo event generators.
