A Measurement of the Attenuation of Drifting Electrons in the MicroBooNE LArTPC

Technical Report MicroBooNE,

MicroBooNE, an 85-ton active mass liquid-argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) detector located on the Fermilab’s Booster Neutrino Beamline (BNB), is designed to both probe neutrino physics phenomena and further develop the LArTPC detector technology. MicroBooNE, the largest currently operating LArTPC detector in the world, began collecting data in fall 2015. The exceptional imaging capabilities of LArTPCs allow unprecedented study of neutrino interactions. A fundamental requirement for the performance of such detectors is to maintain electronegative contaminants such as oxygen and water at extremely low concentrations, which otherwise can capture the ionization electrons. This note presents a first measurement of the electronmore »« less

Search for a low-energy excess of electron neutrinos in MicroBooNE

Thesis/Dissertation Soleti, Stefano Roberto

The Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) designed for short-baseline neutrino physics at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The main physics goal of MicroBooNE is to address the low-energy excess of electron-like events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment and, if confirmed, clarify its nature. The MiniBooNE experiment is a Cherenkov detector and this technology does not allow to distinguish between electrons and single photons in the final state. LArTPC detectors, instead, offer excellent granularity and powerful separation between electrons and photons. For this reason, they represent an ideal technology for the detection of electron neutrino interactions. This thesis presents the first fully-automated electron neutrino selection in a LArTPC. The selection looks for charged-current electron neutrino interactions with no pions and at least one proton in the final state. It is applied on a sub-sample of the data acquired by the detector in the Booster Neutrino Beam, corresponding tomore »« less

The MicroBooNE continuous readout stream for detection of supernova neutrinos

Journal Article Crespo-Anadón, J. I. - Journal of Physics. Conference Series

Since the original detection of core-collapse supernova neutrinos in 1987, all large neutrino experiments seek to detect the neutrinos from the next nearby supernova. Among them, liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) offer a unique sensitivity to the electron neutrino flux of a supernova. However, the low energy of these events (scale of MeVs), and the fact that all large (multi-tonne) LArTPCs operating at the moment are located near the Earth's surface, and are therefore subject to an intense cosmic ray flux, makes triggering on the supernova neutrinos very challenging. Instead, MicroBooNE has pioneered a novel approach for detecting supernovamore »« less
