MicroBooNE实验是一个为短基线中微子物理学设计的液态氩TPC实验，目前在费米实验室运行。由于它靠近表面的位置，宇宙μ子可以成为许多分析的背景源，对宇宙射线有很好的理解将对实验非常有价值。这些会议记录描述了一个小型外部μ子计数器系统的物理动机，设置和性能，这将为液氩TPC提供更好的校准，并更好地了解宇宙起源背景。
The MicroBooNE experiment is a liquid argon TPC experiment designed for short-baseline neutrino physics, currently running at Fermilab. Due to its location near the surface, cosmic muons can be a source of backgrounds to many analyses and having a good understanding of the cosmic rays will be very valuable for the experiment. These proceedings describe the physics motivation, setup, and performance of a small external muon counter system, which will provide improved calibration for the liquid argon TPC and better understanding of the cosmogenic background.
