oscillation parameters, which in turn requires an unprecedented understanding of neutrino-nucleus
interactions. Charged-current quasi-elastic (CCQE) scattering is the process in which the neutrino
produces a charged lepton and removes a single intact nucleon from the nucleus without produc-
ing any additional particles. In the energy range most relevant for accelerator based oscillation
measurements, neutrino CCQE is the dominant process. MicroBooNE is the first liquid argon
time projection chamber (LArTPC) commissioned as part of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN)
program at Fermilab and its excellent particle reconstruction capabilities allow the detection of
neutrino interactions using exclusive final states. This talk will present the latest progress towards
the first measurement of exclusive ν μ -Ar CCQE flux integrated total and differential cross–sections
using data from the MicroBooNE LArTPC detector.
