The precise measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters is a critical component of understanding neutrino oscillations. As future accelerator neutrino experiments will utilize 40 Ar as the target nucleus it is important to understand the influence that nuclear effects have on neutrino-nucleon cross-sections. Processes that lead to 2 particle-2 hole (2p2h) states are of particular interest, such as Meson Exchange Currents (MEC) and Short Range Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations. In the MicroBooNE detector, a charged-current interaction that produced a 2p2h state would create a 3 track topology with 1 muon and 2 protons connected to a single interaction vertex (CC2p0π). We present here a study of MicroBooNE’s potential sensitivity to a variety of MEC models as well as CC2p0π events selected from a combination of data collected from the first 3 years of running of the MicroBooNE experiment.
