Speaker
Description
MicroBooNE is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber, able to image neutrino interactions with excellent spatial and timing resolution, enabling the identification of complex final states resulting from neutrino-nucleus interactions. This poster will provide an overview of measurements for rare final states, such as $\Lambda$ and η production. These processes both provide unique sensitivities to the interplay between nucleon-level cross-section physics and nuclear-level physics, as well as account for sources of background in proton decay experiments. Furthermore, this poster showcases MicroBooNE’s measurements of total and first-order differential cross-sections on argon for muon neutrino interactions producing neutral pions in the final-state. These interactions will dominate the event rates observed at forthcoming high-precision neutrino experiments.
