GiBUU simulations show proton decay detection efficiency in water Cherenkov detectors matches previous estimates, while Fermi momentum choice significantly affects atmospheric neutrino background rates and is the leading systematic.
Figure 7 also shows additional smearing to the distribu- tion of π 0 momentum, pγγ , by reconstruction effects
