Abstract:
MicroBooNE is a liquid argon time projection chamber that operated from
2015 to 2021 in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. The
collaboration has collected the world's largest dataset of
neutrino-argon scattering events with a detector providing
high-resolution imaging of neutrino interactions with a low threshold
and full angular coverage. Thanks to breakthroughs in technology and
event reconstruction a detailed understanding of the neutrino
interactions is possible. This has let to a series of physics
measurements that will be presented. Furthermore I will show how it
allowed to perform an investigation of the anomalous event excess
observed by previous experiments. MicroBooNE is a milestone in view of
the full Short-Baseline program at Fermilab and the future Deep
Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).
