MicroBooNE: Status & Prospects

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

MicroBooNE is a 170 ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) experiment that is currently taking data with the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. The two main physics goals of MicroBooNE are addressing the low-energy electromagnetic anomaly observed by the MiniBooNE experiment and measuring low-energy (~1 GeV) neutrino-argon cross-sections. MicroBooNE is also leading the way for an extensive Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) physics program at Fermilab to definitively address the sterile neutrino question where there are existing hints. This talk will describe the status of the MicroBooNE experiment and highlight some recent results along with future prospects.
