Description

It is crucial to understand the atmospheric neutrino interaction (ATM-$\nu$) in order to search for the nucleon decay (NDK) in the Super-Kamiokande (SK). In this poster, neutron tagging for ATM-$\nu$ background reduction will be introduced and sensitivity obtained by spectrum analysis for $\pi$ momentum distributions from ATM-$\nu$ background and NDK signal MC will be reported using improved SK-4 MC processes such as vector generation and event reconstruction.
