Extraction of an Inclusive Muon Neutrino Charged Current Differential Cross Section at MicroBooNE

The MicroBooNE detector is a liquid argon time projection chamber located along the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. One of MicroBooNE's key physics goals is the measurement of neutrino-argon interaction cross sections. Due to the detector's fully active volume and high efficiency, MicroBooNE is well-suited to perform the first measurement of a triple-differential neutrino-argon cross section. Such a measurement would provide detailed new information for constraining the interaction models needed to interpret the results of future neutrino experiments. However, reliably extracting a triple-differential cross section from MicroBooNE's data set will require an accurate model to correct for finite detector resolution and reconstruction biases. Statistical tests demonstrating the validity of MicroBooNE's modeling of these effects, as well as single- and preliminary double-differential cross section results, are presented.
