The MINERvA experiment delves deep into the world of neutrino nucleus interactions to piece together a guidebook of measurements essential to advancing cross section models. The next generation of long baseline neutrino experiments require a significant improvement to our understanding of neutrino nucleus interactions to measure oscillation parameters to the required level of precision. The...

101. Neutrino Lead interactions:Towards an FSI model benchmark

When neutrinos interact with protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus, the resulting particles can bounce around within the nucleus in a process known as Final State Interactions (FSI). However, our current models of these interactions sometimes don't match well with experimental data, especially for heavier nuclei. The MINERvA experiment allows us to study these interactions in detail. It...

76. Measurement of inclusive anti neutrino cross section and ratio to neutrino cross section as a function of muon kinematics

The measurement is that of an inclusive anti neutrino cross section in terms of muon kinematics on the hydrocarbon tracker region of the MINERvA detector. An inclusive measurement in terms of muon kinematics will make for a comparatively easier comparison to model predictions, as such a measurement reduces the need for an accurate prediction of hadronic activity, which is harder to model....

10. Demonstrating Calorimetry and Particle Discrimination at MeV Energy Scales with Ambient Backgrounds in the MicroBooNE LArTPC

MicroBooNE is an 85 tonne liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detector situated at Fermilab exposed to both the Fermilab neutrino beams. It collected data from 2015 until 2021, which have been used for a plethora of physics analyses. Using MC samples of single electrons, photons, and protons that produce low-energy blips of ionization activity spanning the energy range 0-8 MeVee, we...

27. Exploring the Dark Sector in MicroBooNE Through e+e- Final States

MicroBooNE is a neutrino experiment at Fermilab that ran from 2015 to 2020. It uses a liquid Argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) to detect neutrino events from a flux of predominantly muon neutrinos. In 2018, its predecessor MiniBooNE published results showing the detection of a significant excess of electromagnetic events in its data compared to expectation. The MiniBooNE anomaly defied...

5. MicroBooNE in 10 minutes

MicroBooNE is an 85-tonne active volume Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detector situated at Fermilab which receives both an on-axis Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) and an off-axis beam component from the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam. MicroBooNE collected data from 2015 until 2021 and acquired the highest statistics sample of neutrino-argon interactions to date. The...
