Description
The MicroBooNE Experiment is a 170-ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) that will commence
running in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab in early 2014. LArTPC detectors provide powerful
electron/photon discrimination and will allow MicroBooNE to investigate low energy electron-like events. The
experiment will also improve neutrino cross section measurements and serve as an R&D platform for future large
liquid Argon detectors. This talk summarizes the main physics goals of the MicroBooNE Experiment as well as
addresses the progress of detector construction.
