Description
The MicroBooNE detector is the longest continually-running liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) in history. It operated for six years at Fermilab, accumulating neutrino data from both the Booster and NuMI beams. This data has enabled a rich and successful physics program, built on a detailed understanding of the physics influencing the detector’s performance and its response to both charge and light signals. This talk will showcase MicroBooNE’s operations history and summarize its many pioneering contributions to LArTPC calibration methods. It will also highlight more recent advances including the evaluation of the performance of a TPC-based triggering scheme, investigations into light yield and photoelectron rates, and novel calibration methods at MeV-scale energies. These methods open the door to a wide array of future LArTPC physics analyses, and establish a foundation for calibration strategies in next-generation LArTPC experiments, including SBND and DUNE.
