N2 - The primary source of neutrinos for the MicroBooNE experiment is Fermilab’s Booster Neutrino Beamline. The beamline uses 8 GeV protons from the Booster accelerator steered onto a beryllium target. The secondaries are focused by a magnetic horn down a 50m long decay pipe. Decays of these secondaries give rise to a neutrino beam. We use the beamline simulation and techniques previously developed by the MiniBooNE collaboration to calculate the neutrino flux and estimate systematic uncertainties at the MicroBooNE detector location.
