Title: Investigating Short-Baseline Neutrino Anomalies Using MicroBooNE
Abstract: The MicroBooNE experiment is a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. One of its primary goals is to address the 4.8 sigma MiniBooNE Low Energy Excess (LEE). Leveraging the unique capabilities of LArTPC technology to identify hadronic activity and separate photon and electron showers, MicroBooNE has achieved a search for an electron neutrino excess (potentially due to a sterile neutrino), as well as a search for a single photon excess from neutral current Delta radiative decays. In this talk, we will present a comprehensive overview of these results, as well as recent advancements toward new searches for single photons and electron-positron pairs as explanations of the MiniBooNE LEE. These include a more sensitive search for Delta radiative decays, a search for coherent-like single photon production, an inclusive single photon search, and searches for electron-positron pairs from dark sector models.
