Neutral-current production of ${K}^{+}$ by atmospheric neutrinos is a background in searches for the proton decay $p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{+}\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}$. Reactions such as $\ensuremath{\nu}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\nu}{K}^{+}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ are indistinguishable from proton decays when the decay products of the $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ are below detection threshold. Events with ${K}^{+}$ are identified in MINERvA by reconstructing the timing signature of …
