Description
MicroBooNE is a liquid argon time projection chamber in the Booster
Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. The large event rate and 3 mm wire spacing
of the detector provide high-statistics, precise-resolution imaging of
neutrino interactions leading to low-threshold, high-efficiency event
reconstruction with full angular coverage. As such, this is an ideal
place to probe neutrino-argon interactions in the hundreds-of-MeV to
few-GeV energy range, and to study the impact of nuclear effects
through detailed measurements of hadronic final states. This talk will
present recent measurements of neutrino interactions in MicroBooNE,
including inclusive charged-current interactions, neutral-pion
production, and measurements of low-energy protons.
