Abstract
The pion-argon cross-section measurement is crucial to understand effects such as final-state interactions, which account for a large source of systematic uncertainty in neutrino oscillation experiments. ProtoDUNE-SP, with its charged particle beam data, can provide such experimental constraints. This paper elaborates the methodology to measure the cross-section on large-scale LArTPCs like ProtoDUNE-SP. We use the 1 GeV MC sample to demonstrate the analysis procedures. The cross-sections for pion kinetic energy ranging from 350 MeV to 950 MeV are measured on the MC. The consistency of the MC results with its input values serves as validation of the method and the procedures, which we will later use to perform measurements on the data sample.
