  "description": "Data release for the first results from MicroBooNE's inclusive single photon search using Wire-Cell reconstruction, corresponding to information from arXiv:2502.06064. We present an inclusive search for anomalous production of single-photon events from neutrino interactions in the MicroBooNE experiment. The search and its signal definition are motivated by the previous observation of a low-energy excess of electromagnetic shower events from the MiniBooNE experiment. We use the Wire-Cell reconstruction framework to select a sample of inclusive single-photon final-state interactions with a final efficiency and purity of 7.0\\% and 40.2\\%, respectively. We leverage simultaneous measurements of sidebands of charged current $\\nu_{\\mu}$ interactions and neutral current interactions producing $\\pi^{0}$ mesons to constrain signal and background predictions and reduce uncertainties. We perform a blind analysis using a dataset collected from February 2016 to July 2018, corresponding to an exposure of $6.34\\times10^{20}$ protons on target from the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. In the full signal region, we observe agreement between the data and the prediction, with a goodness-of-fit $p$-value of 0.11. We then isolate a sub-sample of these events containing no visible protons, and observe $93\\pm22\\text{(stat.)}\\pm35\\text{(syst.)}$ data events above prediction, corresponding to just above $2\\sigma$ local significance, concentrated at shower energies below 600 MeV.
