The charged-current quasielastic scattering of muon neutrino on the oxygen target is analyzed for neutrino energy up to 2.5 GeV using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation (RDWIA). The inclusive cross sections d{sup 2}{sigma}/dQ{sup 2}, calculated within the RDWIA, are lower than the relativistic Fermi gas model results in the range of the square of four-momentum transfer Q{sup 2}{<=}0.2 (GeV/c){sup 2}. We also studied the nuclear-model dependence of the neutrino energy reconstruction accuracy using the charged-current quasielastic events with no detector effects and background. We found that for one-track events the accuracy is nuclear model dependent for neutrino energy up to 2.5 GeV.
