Description

MicroBooNE is a 170 ton liquid argon TPC placed in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. The detector is currently being commissioned and first neutrino beam data is expected towards the end of this year. Located in a beam with energies between 0.1 and 3GeV, MicroBooNE is able to make high statistics measurements of CCQE-like events. Recently, there have been indications experiments of correlated nucleon ejection from both QE-like neutrino scattering on argon, as well as electron scattering measurements. With bubble chamber-like image quality and calorimetric information, MicroBooNE will be able to make detailed measurements of the hadronic side of the interactions and investigate these nuclear effects. This poster will compare different generator predictions for MicroBooNE and investigate its potential to discriminate between models.
