DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jiaoyang Li (the University of Edinburgh)\nThe Micro
 BooNE detector is an 85-ton active mass Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamb
 er (LArTPC) located on-axis along the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB). It serv
 es as a part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab\, wh
 ich was primarily designed to address the eV-scale sterile neutrinos. The 
 primary signal channel in the LArTPC is ionisation\, but the argon also em
 its large quantities of scintillation light. Prompt scintillation light in
  MicroBooNE is recorded with an array of 32 PhotoMultiplier Tubes (PMTs). 
 The scintillation light is used to determine the timing of neutrino intera
 ctions and to reject cosmic-ray activity.We present a new method of measur
 ing the light-yield using isolated proton events\, which enables a positio
 n-dependent light-yield measurement to map the response of the detector ac
 ross its volume. This method can be used to calibrate the light response i
 n large-scale LArTPC detectors as well as to test assumptions used in simu
 lating scintillation light.\n\nhttps://indico.physics.ucsd.edu/event/1/con
