Sterile neutrino searches in MiniBooNE and MicroBooNE
… will be addressed, especially focusing on the MicroBooNE experiment and light collection studies. In particular, understanding the degradation source of TPB, designing the TPB-coated plates for MicroBooNE and developing light guide collection systems will be discussed. We find an excess of …

Search for NuMI muDAR Electron Neutrinos in MicroBooNE
… piece of important information to have at hand. MicroBooNE presents a good opportunity to explore the low-energy ν-LAr detection and XS using the μDAR neutrinos and therefore develop the tools necessary for DUNE to interpret the results of a supernova neutrino detection. MicroBooNE is a LArTPC …

Identifying Muon Neutrino Charged-Current Interactions in the MicroBooNE Detector
The MicroBooNE experiment is a short-baseline neutrino experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) in the US, receiving a highly pure muon neutrino beam from the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) and taking data since October 2015. The main physics goal of MicroBooNE is to clarify the …

Constraining the Neutrino Flux for Oscillation Measurements at MicroBooNE and DUNE
… despite other physics also taking place, such as MicroBooNE, whereas some are well known for a wide range of tasks, such as DUNE. But in both types of experiment the hardware must first be constructed and extensively tested, to the same standards as the software that will be used to reconstruct …

Sensitivity of an expanded inclusive search for MiniBooNE-like excess in MicroBooNE data
… the results of a study of how sensitive the MicroBooNE experiment is to an excess of neutrino events with the same topology of the currently-unexplained excess of events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment. This is done by a novel analysis in which events are selected from the MicroBooNE …

Muon/Pion separation using Convolutional Neural Networks for the MicroBooNE Charged Current Inclusive Cross Section Measurement.
<p>The purpose of this thesis was to use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to separate muons and pions for use in increasing the acceptance rate of muons below the implemented 75cm track length cut in the Charged Current Inclusive (CC-Inclusive) event selection for the CC-Inclusive Cross-Section …

Liquid Argon scintillation light quenching due to Nitrogen impurities : measurements performed for the MicroBooNE vertical slice test
The neutrino experiment MicroBooNE is currently under construction. To expedite the physics output of MicroBooNE, a smaller version of its optical detection system has been implemented. To demonstrate full operability of this prototype, two physics measurements were performed. The first examines …

Experimental and Phenomenological Investigations of the MiniBooNE Anomaly
… energy excess (LEE). We begin with the follow-up MicroBooNE experiment, which took data along the BNB from 2016 to 2021. The detailed images produced by the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber enable a suite of measurements that each test a different potential source of the MiniBooNE …

Proton Inelastic Cross-section Measurement on Argon with the ProtoDUNE-SP Detector and an Investigation of MicroBooNE Low Energy Excess
… physics, which could help explain neutrino mass. MicroBooNE is investigating the excess of electron neutrino candidate events at low energy observed by the MiniBooNE detector, which may suggest active-sterile neutrino oscillations. This work discusses comparisons performed between two MicroBooNE …
