A Low Energy Track Reconstruction Algorithm to be Applied to the MiniBooNE Low Energy Excess Search in MicroBooNE

ORAL

Abstract

The MicroBooNE experiment is an 85 ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) located on the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. A primary goal of the experiment is to investigate the low energy excess of electron neutrino like events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment. I will present a brief overview of MicroBooNE and its searches for the low energy excess. I will focus on the track reconstruction algorithm, to which I contributed by calibrating the response to protons and minimum ionizing particles.
