Oct. 1, 2021	Search for anomalous single-photon production in MicroBooNE as a first test of the MiniBooNE low-energy excess	Mark Ross-Lonergan, Columbia University		We report first results from a search for neutrino-induced neutral current (NC) resonant ∆(1232) baryon production followed by ∆ radiative decay. Data corresponding to MicroBooNE’s first three years of operations (6.80×1020 protons on target) are used to select single-photon events with one or zero protons and without charged leptons in the final state. The background... More »

Oct. 27, 2021	First search for an excess of electron neutrinos in MicroBooNE with multiple final-state topologies	Matthew Toups, Ran Itay, Sophie Berkman, Jay Hyun Jo		We present a measurement of electron-neutrino interactions from the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam using the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber to address the nature of the excess of low-energy interactions observed by the MiniBooNE collaboration. Three independent electron-neutrino searches are performed across multiple single-electron final states, including an exclusive search for two-body scattering events... More »
Nov. 12, 2021	The Future Circular Collider (FCC) Feasibility Study and its Physics Potential	Gregorio Bernardi, APC-Paris, CNRS/IN2P3		The European Strategy in Particle Physics, has put an e+e- factory as first priority and recommended that Europe, together with its international partners, should investigate the technical and financial feasibility of a future hadron collider at CERN with a centre-of-mass energy of at least 100 TeV, and with an electron-positron Higgs and electroweak factory as...

Nov. 19, 2021	Unlocking the CMS Experiment to Catch Long-lived Particles	Cristián Peña, Fermilab		Enabling new long-lived particles (LLPs) searches at the LHC presents HEP research with unique opportunities. Introducing novel experimental techniques to identify and reconstruct LLPs will open up new possibilities for discoveries with striking signatures. I will present new long-lived particles searches, with a focus on the CMS Muon System result, which significantly pushed the envelope... More »
Jan. 14, 2022	Electron-Neutrino and Antineutrino CC Differential Cross Sections at the MicroBooNE detector	Elena Gramellini, Fermilab		Current and next generation precision neutrino oscillation experiments aim to probe CP-violation in the lepton sector, the neutrino mass ordering, and physics beyond the Standard Model such as the existence of light sterile neutrinos by measuring the appearance of electron neutrinos in nearly pure beams of muon neutrinos. Yet to this day, only a handful of... More »
Jan. 21, 2022	The start of a new era in LArTPCs: Novel searches for exotic physics exploring the MicroBooNE dataset	Pawel Guzowski, University of Manchester		The MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) has collected a record number of neutrino interactions from two high-intensity neutrino beamlines (BNB and NuMI) at Fermilab. The experiment has demonstrated that liquid-argon technology enables a far-reaching physics program, and has recently released its first results investigating the nature of the MiniBooNE anomalous excess of low-energy...
