Description
When a neutrino undergoes a quasi-elastic charged current interaction,
it will produce a neutron or a proton, depending on whether or not the
neutrino was an antiparticle. These neutrons can be identified by the
distinctive 2.2MeV γ-ray signal produced after neutron capture on
hydrogen. I will discuss new techniques to detect these 2.2MeV γ-rays
in Super Kamiokande, and application of these techniques to improve
sensitivity to atmospheric anti-neutrinos.
