MicroBooNE is one of three liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) making up the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program at FNAL. Located on the Booster Neutrino Beamline, MicroBooNE has been collecting data since October 2015 to determine the source of the low-energy electromagnetic event excess previously reported by MiniBooNE and LSND. In addition to its signature analysis, MicroBooNE is...

Next generation neutrino oscillation experiments aim towards high-precision extraction of oscillation parameters, which in turn requires an unprecedented understanding of neutrino-nucleus
interactions. Neutrino processes producing a charged lepton and a single intact nucleon in the
final state can offer an important window into the dynamics of neutrino interactions with direct
importance...

The MicroBooNE experiment is an 87 t active mass Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) located on the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab, Chicago. The primary physics goals of this experiment are to investigate the excess of low energy electron-like events observed by MiniBooNE, perform precise measurements of neutrino on argon cross sections, and provide research and development...

The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) will be a 112 ton liquid argon time projection chamber devoted to researching neutrino oscillations. Located 110 m downstream from the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) target, SBND will be the near detector of the three-detector Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab. The SBN program will probe neutrino oscillations at the $\sim \! 1 \textrm{eV}^2$...
