Description

MicroBooNE is a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) neutrino experiment located on the Booster Neutrino Beamline (BNB) at Fermilab. MicroBooNE has two operating readout streams; an externally-triggered stream used for MicroBooNE’s primary research goals to study BNB neutrinos and their interactions on argon, and, in parallel, a continuous stream of data dedicated for the detection of neutrinos from a galactic core-collapse supernova as well as other non-beam related physics. MicroBooNE cannot self-trigger on supernova neutrinos; instead the continuous readout will store the data for a few days and if there is an external alert from the Supernova Early Warning System (SNEWS) for a supernova collapse, the data will be permanently stored, otherwise the data is erased. This talk will focus on MicroBooNE’s continuous readout stream, its successful commissioning and operation.
