We present a measurement of electron neutrino interactions from the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam using the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber to address the nature of the excess of low energy interactions observed by the MiniBooNE collaboration. Three independent electron neutrino searches are performed across multiple single electron final states, including an exclusive search for two-body scattering events with a single proton, a semi-inclusive search for pion-less events, and a fully inclusive search for events containing all hadronic final states. With differing signal topologies, statistics, backgrounds, reconstruction algorithms, and analysis approaches, the results are found to be consistent with the nominal electron neutrino rate expectations from the Booster Neutrino Beam and no excess of electron neutrino events is observed.

  1. Probing Long-Lived Particle Production in Muon Decays at the SNS with a Highly Capable Hydrocarbon Detector

    hep-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Proposes a hydrocarbon detector at SNS for order-of-magnitude better sensitivity to 10-100 MeV axion-like particles and heavy neutral leptons via e+e- decays from muon decays at rest.

  2. Flavor as an Incomplete Structure: Conceptual Questions and the Role of DUNE

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    DUNE's long-baseline program combined with near-detector and PRISM strategies is argued to be well-suited for detecting correlated deviations from the minimal three-flavor neutrino framework.

  3. Flavor as an Incomplete Structure: Conceptual Questions and the Role of DUNE

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Flavor is an incomplete structure in the SM whose limits DUNE can probe via oscillation data and BSM sensitivity.

  4. Flavor as an Incomplete Structure: Conceptual Questions and the Role of DUNE

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Conceptual discussion framing flavor as an incomplete SM structure and arguing DUNE's phased program can search for correlated departures from three-flavor neutrino mixing.
