Description
With many current and future neutrino experiments relying on Liquid
Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) technology, characterizing the
performance of these detectors is critical. The MicroBooNE experiment
is capable of performing numerous measurements to better understand
the technology. These include identification and filtering of excess
TPC noise, signal calibration, recombination, and measurements of
drift electron attenuation. MicroBooNE, residing on the surface, can
also provide important information about cosmic ray induced space
charge in the TPC volume and the resulting deformations to the
electric field. This talk will provide a detailed overview of the
subtleties of understanding LArTPC technology and developing
calibration techniques towards extracting physics measurements.
