Description

MicroBooNE is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) currently under construction at Fermilab which will begin taking data in early 2014. It will use the unique resolution of a LArTPC to resolve whether the MiniBooNE low energy excess events are electron-like or photon-like as well as explore other aspects of neutrino interactions. MicroBooNE is also an important step towards the ultimate goal of kiloton scale LAr detectors.
