Abstract

Absolute neutrino cross section measurements are presently limited by uncertainties on ν fluxes. In this paper, we propose a technique that is based on the reconstruction of large angle positrons in the decay tunnel to identify three-body semileptonic (Formula presented.) decays. This tagging facility operated in positron counting mode (“event count mode”) can be employed to determine the absolute νe flux at the neutrino detector with O(1~%) precision. Facilities operated in “event by event tag mode” i.e. tagged neutrino beams that exploit the time coincidence of the positron at source and the νe interaction at the detector, are also discussed.
