The MicroBooNE detector is currently the largest operating liquid argon neutrino experiment in the world. Located at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), MicroBooNE has been collecting both electron neutrino (\(\nu _{e}\)) and muon neutrino (\(\nu _{\mu }\)) interactions from both the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) and the Neutrino Main Injector (NuMI) since late 2015. During this time, MicroBooNE has measured a wide-variety of interaction topologies including \(\nu _{\mu }\) charged current, \(\nu _{e}\) charged current, resonant \(\pi ^{0}\), and various high multiplicity interactions. To date, many of MicroBooNE’s measurements are either the first of their kind using liquid argon as a target material, or have the largest number of events collected using a liquid argon detector. All of these measurements combine to form a rich cross section programme, aiming to enhance understanding of GeV-range neutrino interaction on liquid argon for upcoming detectors such as SBND, ICARUS, and DUNE.
