Neutrino interaction ratein an iron target exposed to NuMI
in the near hall(2 * 105) / (year * ton)
43 ± 7 neutrino interactions expected in the analyzed volume
Nmes/total = 44 ± 9 neutrino interactions estimated from the 24 observed events after efficiency correction
This value (increased by 8%) accounts for the lead target

Conclusions• A volume of 413 cm3 (58% of the brick volume) was
general scanned in one PEANUT brick• Detailed single brick Monte Carlo simulation of PEANUT
used to define a procedure to identify neutrino interactions• 24 neutrino interactions with SFT matching have been
identified in the volume• After the efficiency correction, we estimate (44 ± 9)
neutrino interactions happening in the volume• Good agreement with the number of expected events (43 ±
7) computed from the flux• 8 events with larger multiplicity found without any match
with the SFT (6 with 3 tracks, 1 with 4 and 1 with 9 tracks)
