Abstract

MicroBooNE is a new experiment, currently under development, that will use a large, liquid-argon, time-projection chamber in the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam with the goal of studying the origin of the MiniBooNE anomalous signal of excess electron-like events in a muon-neutrino beam, which are not consistent with neutrino oscillations; it will also measure low-energy neutrino cross sections and has the potential to detect supernova neutrinos. At the same time, the project provides important R&D and proof-of-principle for potential, larger, detectors for studies of long-baseline neutrino oscillations and other physics.
