An improved method for measuring muon energy using the truncated mean of dE/dx

<p style="text-align:justify;"> The measurement of muon energy is critical for many analyses in large Cherenkov detectors, particularly those that involve separating extraterrestrial neutrinos from the atmospheric neutrino background. Muon energy has traditionally been determined by...
