The MicroBooNE Experiment and the Impact of Space Charge Effects

Understand

MicroBooNE is an experiment designed to both probe neutrino physics phenomena and develop the LArTPC (Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber) detector technology.

• The MicroBooNE experiment, which began taking data this year, is the first large LArTPC detector in the U.S.
• This experiment is the beginning of a path of detectors (both on the surface and underground) envisioned for the U.S.
• SBL (Short-BaseLine) and LBL (Long-BaseLine) programs.
