Design and construction of the MicroBooNE detector

Abstract

This article describes the design and construction of the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber and associated systems. MicroBooNE is the first phase of the Short Baseline Neutrino program, located at Fermilab, and will utilize the capabilities of liquid argon detectors to examine a rich assortment of physics topics. Reported in this document are details of design specifications, assembly procedures, and acceptance tests.
