The MiniBooNE LEE is the observation of an anomalous excess of νe charged current quasi-elastic-like events in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. The true origin of those events could be attributed to either single electrons or single photons produced in the MiniBooNE Cherenkov detector, as the experiment lacked the ability to distinguish between the two. Using the ability of liquid argon time projection chambers to perform electron/photon separation, MicroBooNE aims to search for this excess in two exclusive channels: single photon and single electron.
