摘要
MicroBooNE 是位于费米实验室 Booster 中微子束线（BNB）上的中微子实验，于 2015 年至 2021 年收集数据。MicroBooNE 的液氩时间投影室（LArTPC）配备由 32 个光电倍增管组成的光子探测系统，用于测量氩 scintillation 光并确定中微子相互作用的计时。结合光信号与重建径迹的分析技术被应用于实现 的中微子相互作用时间分辨率。所得结果使 MicroBooNE 首次能够获取 BNB 的纳秒级中微子脉冲结构。所实现的时间分辨率将显著增强所有中微子分析中的宇宙线本底抑制能力。此外，该纳秒级时间分辨率为在 MicroBooNE 以及未来大型 LArTPC 实验（即 SBN 计划和 DUNE）中搜索重中性轻子等长寿命粒子开辟了新途径。
