Description
A proper understanding of the capabilities and fidelity of low-energy reconstruction is crucial for taking advantage of MeV-scale neutrino physics opportunities in LArTPCs. This poster will present an analysis resulting in the first-ever demonstration of LArTPC energy resolution in the MeV regime. A measurement of the resolution of energy reconstruction in the MicroBooNE LArTPC at ~1.5 MeV was performed using monoenergetic signals generated by $^{208}$Tl decay $\gamma$-rays pair-producing in the detector. This study provides a pathway for MeV-scale monoenergetic energy calibrations in future LArTPC experiments.
