Description

Also in small seminar room.

Abstract: We present a phenomenological study of MicroBooNE’s ability to investigate e+e final states produced in dark photon mediated neutrino-upscattering—a beyond-Standard Model process proposed as a solution to the MiniBooNE anomaly. Utilising the similarities shared between the observable signatures of neutrino-induced e+e and single photons originating in the radiative decays of the Δ(1232) resonance, we consider MicroBooNE’s recent public data from its search for neutral current Δ(1232) radiative decays to test benchmark models of e+e production, and investigate MicroBooNE’s sensitivity to heavy neutrino models in which the neutrino sector is strongly coupled to a dark sector.
