N2 - We present a fully automated selection of NuMI beam produced electron neutrinos interacting in the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber operating at Fermilab. This analysis makes use of the Pandora reconstruction framework and subsequently a selection method developed specifically to select νe and ¯νe in data. The selection also utilizes one of liquid argon’s signature capabilities, distinguishing electron-like and photon-like electromagnetic showers using dE/dx in data, as well as scintillation lightbased timing. The studies presented here demonstrate a closure test of calculating the inclusive cross using Monte Carlo, where the input Monte Carlo cross section matches the extracted Monte Carlo cross section. From this we forecast the prospects of a future νe + ¯νe cross section with MicroBooNE data.
