SUMMARY:Chris Benson (UCB) - Using MiniCLEAN and measurements of microphysical material properties in the vacuum ultraviolet regime to inform next-generation dark matter and neutrino detectors
DESCRIPTION:Single phase\, zero-field\, liquid noble gas scintillator detectors are a simple\, scalable and cost-effective approach for dark matter and neutrino detection. MiniCLEAN is a liquid argon dark matter detector located 6\,800 feet underground at SNOLAB in Canada. In addition to its role as a detector for dark matter searches\, MiniCLEAN also serves as a technology demonstrator for a scalable\, single-phase detector and is aimed at informing the design and sensitivity of monolithic\, large-scale\, next-generation dark matter and neutrino detectors. This presentation will provide an overview of the MiniCLEAN experiment and a summary of the author’s contributions to construction\, commissioning\, and analysis efforts. The results of a supporting wavelength shifting thin film R&D effort\, a technology important to several current and future dark matter and neutrino experiments\, will also be presented.

SUMMARY:Jyoti Joshi (BNL) - Recent Results from MicroBooNE Liquid Argon TPC
DESCRIPTION:MicroBooNE is a large (85-ton active mass) liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) experiment operating near the surface at Fermilab in Batavia\, Illinois. The detector observes neutrino interactions from the on-axis Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at short distance (470 m)\, enabling an investigation of the MiniBooNE low-energy excess as well as neutrino-argon cross section measurements. Another key purpose of the experiment is to gain experience with the operation and calibration of large LArTPC detectors in preparation for the SBN (Short Baseline Neutrino) program at Fermilab and DUNE (the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment). We discuss the principal physics goals of MicroBooNE and highlight aspects related to operating a large LArTPC near the surface. The MicroBooNE LArTPC calibration program and different neutrino event reconstruction techniques are discussed\, and recent results from the experiment are presented.
