AB - Measurements of electrons from νe interactions are crucial for the Deep Underground NeutrinoExperiment (DUNE) neutrino oscillation program, as well as searches for physics beyond the standardmodel, supernova neutrino detection, and solar neutrino measurements. This article describes the selectionand reconstruction of low-energy (Michel) electrons in the ProtoDUNE-SP detector. ProtoDUNE-SP is oneof the prototypes for the DUNE far detector, built and operated at CERN as a charged particle test beamexperiment. A sample of low-energy electrons produced by the decay of cosmic muons is selected with apurity of 95%. This sample is used to calibrate the low-energy electron energy scale with two techniques.An electron energy calibration based on a cosmic ray muon sample uses calibration constants derived frommeasured and simulated cosmic ray muon events. Another calibration technique makes use of thetheoretically well-understood Michel electron energy spectrum to convert reconstructed charge to electronenergy. In addition, the effects of detector response to low-energy electron energy scale and its resolutionincluding readout electronics threshold effects are quantified. Finally, the relation between the theoreticaland reconstructed low-energy electron energy spectra is derived, and the energy resolution is characterized.The low-energy electron selection presented here accounts for about 75% of the total electron depositedenergy. After the addition of lost energy using a Monte Carlo simulation, the energy resolution improvesfrom about 40% to 25% at 50 MeV. These results are used to validate the expected capabilities of the DUNEfar detector to reconstruct low-energy electrons.
