Measurements of Scintillation Light with the MicroBooNE LArTPC Neutrino Detector

MicroBooNE is a neutrino experiment which utilizes the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detector technology and collected data from 2015 to 2021. The experiment relies on scintillation light to isolate neutrino interactions from the continuous flux of cosmic-ray backgrounds which hit the detector. MicroBooNE provides a unique dataset with over five years of continuous operations which has many applications for the study of LArTPC detector performance. An improved understanding of scintillation light production, propagation, and detection in large-scale LArTPC is critical for the success of many physics measurements within the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program and the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). In this talk we will summarize MicroBooNE's measurements of scintillation light and present new studies that focus on measuring the prompt and late light components of scintillation photons produced from different interactions.
