Description
MicroBooNE is an 85-tonne active mass liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) at Fermilab. The detector, with an excellent calorimetric, spatial and energy resolution, has collected beam data from two different beamlines between 2015 and 2020. Additionally, it has collected data when no neutrino beam was running. These characteristics make MicroBooNE a powerful detector not just to study neutrinos, but also for Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics. The collaboration recently published searches for heavy neutral leptons and low-mass dark matter that gives rise to dark trident processes. In addition, MicroBooNE has developed tools for a neutron-antineutron oscillation search for the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). This talk will highlight MicroBooNE’s recent BSM physics results and explore future searches.
