A Charge Calibrated Track Reconstruction for the Low Energy Excess Search in MicroBooNE.

ORAL

Abstract

The MicroBooNE detector is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) located on the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. One of the primary goals of the experiment is to study the low-energy excess of electron neutrino like events seen by MiniBooNE. This talk will discuss the deep-learning-based search for low-energy electron neutrino interactions within MicroBooNE. I will focus on the track reconstruction algorithm with the addition of charge and energy calibration and its effect on particle identification.

*This research was prepared by the MicroBooNE collaboration using the resources of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), a US Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, HEP User Facility. MicroBooNE is supported by: the US DOE, Office of Science, Offices of High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics; the US National Science Foundation; the Swiss National Science Foundation; the Science and Technology Facilities Council of the United Kingdom; and The Royal Society (UK).
