    First study of neutrino angle reconstruction using quasielastic-like interactions in MicroBooNE

    Full text link
    We investigate the expected precision of the reconstructed neutrino direction using a νμ-argon quasielastic-like event topology with one muon and one proton in the final state and the reconstruction capabilities of the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber. This direction is of importance in the context of DUNE sub-GeV atmospheric oscillation studies. MicroBooNE allows for a data-driven quantification of this resolution by investigating the deviation of the reconstructed muon-proton system orientation with respect to the well-known direction of neutrinos originating from the Booster Neutrino Beam with an exposure of 1.3 × 1021 protons on target. Using simulation studies, we derive the expected sub-GeV DUNE atmospheric-neutrino reconstructed simulated spectrum by developing a reweighting scheme as a function of the true neutrino energy. We further report flux-integrated single- and double-differential cross section measurements of charged-current νμ quasielastic-like scattering on argon as a function of the muon-proton system angle using the full MicroBooNE data sets. We also demonstrate the sensitivity of these results to nuclear effects and final state hadronic reinteraction modeling

    Expanding the Role of Athletic Trainers: Injury Prevention and Cost Reduction in Large Retail Settings

    Full text link
    Work related musculoskeletal injuries are a significant concern in physically demanding environments such as large retail stores, often leading to high workers’ compensation costs and decreased productivity. This evidence to practice paper explores the potential benefits of integrating industrial athletic trainers (ATs) into standard workplace safety programs within retail settings. Drawing from existing literature, the paper highlights ATs’ expertise in injury prevention, ergonomic assessment, rehabilitation, and health education. Studies indicate that incorporating ATs results in fewer workplace injuries, faster return to work times, and substantial cost savings. Positive outcomes include improved employee health, reduced days away from work, and enhanced workplace morale. The findings support the clinical implication that ATs can play a pivotal role in improving workforce health and operational efficiency in retail environments. However, further research is recommended to assess long term impacts and industry specific outcomes specifically in retail settings
