Expand feasibility study to include background: Beam e measurement from antineutrinos Background in pHE and LE samples obtained with the nubar-PID cut at 0.9 (mostly CC neutrinos) ( + ) pHE ( + ) LE ( ,K - ) pHE ( ,K - ) LE Bkgd. pHE Bkgd. LE

Create fake data in which background level is shifted by a given amount. Fit is done assuming nominal background levels: Results: Shifting only LE backgroundShifting only pHE background Background shifted by +10%-10%+30%-30%-50%+50%+10%-10%+30%-30%+50%-50% Bias in parLE +3%-3%+7%-8%+9%-13%-4%+6%-10%+13%-16%+25% Bias in parHE -1%+1%-1%+1%-2%+1%+3%-4%+9%-11%+14%-22% Background shifted by +10%-10%+30%-30%+50%-50% Bias in parLE -2%+3%-4%+6%-5%+7% Bias in parHE +3%-4%+8%-11%+13%-20% If shift is in same proportion & direction for the two backgrounds then bias in parLE is considerably reduced: Example: parHE background shifted up by 10% ( + ) pHE ( + ) LE ( ,K - ) pHE ( ,K - ) LE Bkgd. pHE Bkgd. LE (These are scaled to 2.0x10 20 POT)
