DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Patrick Green (University of Oxford)\nThe MicroBooNE
  experiment is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) placed on-a
 xis to the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. MicroBooNE ran its phy
 sics and R&D runs from 2015 through 2021. Its primary physics goal is to c
 ontribute to addressing the elusive short-baseline MiniBooNE low energy ex
 cess. MicroBooNE records and utilizes both the ionization charge and scint
 illation light produced inside the TPC to select and reconstruct its event
 s. To properly address the physics goals\, it is crucial to properly under
 stand how the detector evolves over time and perform continuous calibratio
 ns. This means performing state of the art measurement of detector physics
  quantities such as electron lifetime\, diffusion\, as monitoring and cali
 brating the light yield. This talk will go over what MicroBooNE has learne
 d and measured throughout its nearly continuous 7 years of running regardi
 ng detector physics measurements. Analysis of MicroBooNE performance over 
 time will be beneficial to the next many years long running Short-Baseline
  Neutrino (SBN) and DUNE programs to properly understand the important det
 ector physics measurements in LArTPCs. Finally\, we will present recent de
 velopments in LArTPC analysis that  demonstrate O(ns) neutrino interaction
  timing and MeV-scale physics reach employing both charge and scintillatio
 n signatures.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za/event/112/contributions/3122/
