MicroBooNE

MicroBooNE is a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) at Fermilab in Batavia, IL. MicroBooNE's two main physics goals are to investigate the MiniBooNE low-energy excess and neutrino-argon cross sections. It will be part of a series of neutrino detectors along with the new Short-Baseline Near Detector,(SBND) and moved ICARUS.

MicroBooNE was filled with argon in July 2015 and began data taking.[1]
