N2 - MicroBooNE (the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment) is a liquid argon time-projection chamber experiment designed for short-baseline neutrino physics, currently running at Fermilab. It aims to address the anomalous excess of low-energy events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment. In this note we present a fully automated event selection algorithm to identify charged-current electron neutrino event candidates with no pions and at least one proton in the final state (νe CC0π-Np). The efficiency of the current selection algorithm is (46.5±0.3) %. We also show some cuts on kinematic and geometric variables which reject background events. These cuts have been validated by analyzing two event samples orthogonal to our signal. Future improvements have been identified which will improve the reconstruction efficiency, especially at low energy.
