dc.description.abstractThe atmospheric neutrino background for proton decay via p → e<sup>+</sup>&#960;<sup>0</sup> in ring imaging water Cherenkov detectors is studied with an artificial accelerator neutrino beam for the first time. In total, 3.14×10<sup>5</sup> neutrino events corresponding to about 10 megaton-years of atmospheric neutrino interactions were collected by a 1,000 ton water Cherenkov detector (KT). The KT charged-current single p0 production data are well reproduced by simulation programs of neutrino and secondary hadronic interactions used in the Super–Kamiokande (SK) proton decay search. The obtained p → e<sup>+</sup>&#960;<sup>0</sup> background rate by the KT data for SK from the atmospheric neutrinos whose energies are below 3 GeV is 1.63 <sup>+0.42</sup><sub>−0.33</sub> (stat.) <sup>+0.45</sup><sub>−0.51</sub> (syst.) (megaton-year)<sup>−1</sup>. This result is also relevant to possible future, megaton-scale water Cherenkov detectors.en
