The development and operation of Liquid-Argon Time-Projection Chambers for neutrino physics has created a need for new approaches to pattern recognition in order to fully exploit the imaging capabilities offered by this technology. Whereas the human brain can excel at identifying features in the recorded events, it is a significant challenge to develop an automated, algorithmic solution. The Pandora Software Development Kit provides functionality to aid the design and implementation of pattern-recognition algorithms. It promotes the use of a multi-algorithm approach to pattern recognition, in which individual algorithms each address a specific task in a particular topology. Many tens of algorithms then carefully build up a picture of the event and, together, provide a robust automated pattern-recognition solution. This paper describes details of the chain of over one hundred Pandora algorithms and tools used to reconstruct cosmic-ray muon and neutrino events in the MicroBooNE detector. Metrics that assess the current pattern-recognition performance are presented for simulated MicroBooNE events, using a selection of final-state event topologies.

  1. Interaction-model dependence in calorimetric energy reconstruction methods due to non-linear material effects in modern neutrino detectors

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Calorimetric neutrino energy reconstruction carries an interaction-model-dependent bias of ~7-18 MeV from Birks quenching and charge recombination, reducible to ~3.5 MeV with idealised hybrid tracking.

  2. Neutron Reconstruction via Blips in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Simulation-based proof-of-concept demonstrates neutron identification and reconstruction of direction and energy using blips from inelastic scattering in LArTPCs.

  3. Neutron Reconstruction via Blips in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers

    hep-ex 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.5

    Simulation shows LArTPC blips from neutron inelastic scattering can identify neutrons and reconstruct final-state neutron direction and energy in sub-GeV neutrino interactions.

  4. Search for the production of Higgs-portal scalar bosons in the NuMI beam using the MicroBooNE detector

    hep-ex 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    MicroBooNE sets the strongest limits to date on the Higgs-portal scalar mixing angle θ below ~3×10^{-4} for masses 110-155 MeV using kaon decays in the NuMI beam and 2.01×10^{21} POT exposure.
