N2 - The uniquely detailed neutrino event information from liquid argon time projection chambers allows reconstruction of a set of kinematic quantities that over-constrain the expectations for charged current quasielastic scattering (CCQE). MicroBooNE makes use of the CCQE consistency requirements in a deep-learning-based search for the MiniBooNE low energy excess analysis. This requirement rejects backgrounds as well as events with poorly reconstructed neutrino energy due to final state interactions of the outgoing proton. The results presented here demonstrate the quality of the selection of νe and νµ events. We show excellent agreement between the data and the simulation across many data sets. This positions us to be ready to unblind the MicroBooNE low energy excess analysis in the very near future.
