来自带电的介子静止衰变（$K^+ \rightarrow \mu^+ \nu_\mu$）的单能236 MeV μ子中微子可以用来产生一套新的横截面测量。适用于基于短基线和长基线加速器的中微子振荡实验，除其他外，这种测量将为能量重建和与该能量附近的带电中微子事件相关的相互作用运动学提供“标准蜡烛”。这种中微子也可以作为一种独特的已知能量，纯弱相互作用的原子核探测器。在接下来的几年里，一些实验将会上线，这些实验将能够收集和描述数千个这样的事件。
The monoenergetic 236 MeV muon neutrino from charged kaon decay-at-rest ($K^+ \rightarrow \mu^+ \nu_\mu$) can be used to produce a novel set of cross section measurements. Applicable for short- and long-baseline accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiments, among others, such measurements would provide a "standard candle" for the energy reconstruction and interaction kinematics relevant for charged current neutrino events near this energy. This neutrino can also be exercised as a unique known-energy, purely weak interacting probe of the nucleus. A number of experiments are set to come online in the next few years that will be able to collect and characterize thousands of these events.
