92. Five Years of MicroBooNE and Beyond in Ten Minutes

Lauren Yates (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

7/21/20, 4:15 PM

Invited

MicroBooNE is a neutrino experiment based at Fermilab that utilizes a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) located on-axis in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB). It has been collecting data since October 2015 and is now the longest-running LArTPC detector to date with more than half a million neutrino interactions recorded. One of the experiment’s main goals is a search for the excess of...

29. MicroBooNE's Search for a Photon-Like Low Energy Excess

Kathryn Sutton (Columbia University)

7/21/20, 4:30 PM

MicroBooNE is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber which has been taking neutrino data at Fermilab's Booster Neutrino Beamline since October 2015. One of its primary goals is to investigate the “Low Energy Excess” of neutrino events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment, for which candidate interpretations include an underestimation of neutrino neutral current (NC) resonant $\Delta$...

68. Toward a differential measurement of the electron neutrino CC1eNp cross section in MicroBooNE

Katrina Miller

7/21/20, 4:45 PM

MicroBooNE, the longest running liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC), is the first of several detectors in Fermilab’s leading-edge LArTPC program working toward stringent measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters. At energy scales relevant to accelerator-based experiments, charged current (CC) interactions producing an electron and at least one proton (1eNp) in the final state...

21. First Measurement of Differential Charged Current Quasielastic--like $\nu_{\mu}$--Argon Scattering Cross Sections with the MicroBooNE Detector

Ms Afroditi Papadopoulou

7/21/20, 5:00 PM

Current and future generation neutrino oscillation experiments aim towards a high-precision measurement of the oscillation parameters and that requires an unprecedented
understanding of neutrino-nucleus scattering. Charged-current quasi-elastic (CCQE) scattering
is the process in which the neutrino produces a charged lepton and removes
a single intact nucleon from the nucleus without...
