Abstract

This note presents progress towards a Neutral-Current (NC) Delta-like single photon search in MicroBooNE using Wire-Cell 3D reconstruction and pattern recognition algorithms. This analysis will help address the question of the MiniBooNE Low Energy Excess (LEE) [1]. The selections are similar to the previously published Pandora-based single photon selections [2] in many ways, but here we use independent reconstruction and selection tools and examine a larger phase space (including charged pions and multiple protons). In the future, we will significantly reduce systematic uncertainties via the use of constraining sideband observations in order to statistically test specific models of the MiniBooNE LEE.
