The experiment first started collecting neutrino data in October 2015. MicroBooNE will investigate the low energy excess events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment, measure a suite of low energy neutrino cross sections, and investigate astro-particle physics. MicroBooNE is also contributing crucial input towards the construction of massive kiloton scale LArTPC detectors for the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and is the first detector in the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab . The MicroBooNE spokespeople are Bonnie Fleming (Yale University) and Sam Zeller (Fermilab). The international collaboration consists of over 170 scientists from 31 institutions.
