The discovery of neutrino oscillations is so far the only direct
experimental evidence of physics beyond the standard model, making
neutrinos a torch which can illuminate the path forward to reveal the
deep secrets of nature. Unlocking these secrets requires a new era of
precision measurements of neutrino oscillations. The elusive nature of
neutrinos demands the finest instruments in order to reach high
precision. The Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) is the
chosen detector technology for the next generation of neutrino physics
mega-projects. I will describe the current MicroBooNE experiment, a
pioneer in the use of the LArTPC technology, designed to address the
previously observed MiniBooNE low energy excess anomaly and perform
detector R&D. Leveraging experience in data analysis in MicroBooNE, I
will then discuss the physics goals and latest status of the future
short and long-baseline neutrino oscillation programs, which will be
providing unprecedented neutrino data to search for new physics.
