Geology

Oral

As we seek to meet global decarbonization goals there is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to clean sources of energy and increasing total energy efficiency. The crystalline rocks that make up the primary constituents of the earth's continental crust have a high specific heat, making them efficient reservoirs for storing thermal energy. Where these rocks are...

69. Recent results from MicroBooNE and status of the Short-Baseline Neutrino program

Dr Brandon Eberly (University of Southern Maine)

5/16/24, 9:30 AM

Neutrino Oscillations

The MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) operated in the BNB and NuMI neutrino beamlines as part of the short baseline neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab from 2015-2021. The experiment collected the world’s largest neutrino-argon scattering data set, which it has used to publish over 60 results covering its primary physics goals: (1) investigate the MiniBooNE low-energy...
