Description

The MicroBooNE neutrino detector is currently being installed in the Liquid Argon Test Facility at Fermi National Accelerator Lab. The liquid-argon, time-projection chamber has an event-readout time of about 5 milliseconds, during which many cosmic-ray muons will cross the large active volume. We present an estimate for this rate, based on a combination of measurements made in the experimental hall and a CRY/GEANT4 simulation.
