SUMMARY:MicroBooNE: Unlocking the Secrets of the Neutrino with Liquid 
 Argon Detector Technology\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\
 , Matt Toups\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:In the last several decades neutrino oscillation experimen
 ts have given us a consistent picture of neutrino mass and mixing amon
 g three neutrino flavors. However\, a series of longstanding and more 
 recent anomalies hint at the existence of additional “sterile” neu
 trino flavors and complicates this simple picture. In order to improve
  on previous short baseline sterile neutrino searches\, new detector t
 echnologies are required.  Liquid Argon time projection chambers (LArT
 PCs) promise to have the sensitivity needed by current and next genera
 tion neutrino oscillation experiments looking for the appearance of el
 ectron-flavor neutrinos in a predominantly muon-flavored accelerator-b
 ased neutrino beam.  MicroBooNE is the first of three LArTPC detectors
  planned for the newly re-established Short Baseline Neutrino program 
 at Fermilab built to address the sterile neutrino hypothesis and to de
 velop the technologies and expertise necessary to deploy a kiloton-sca
 le LArTPC for future long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.  
 First data from the MicroBooNE experiment will be presented along with
  future prospects for LArTPC technology in the US.
