| dc.description.abstract | This thesis describes the methods used to extract the inclusive νₑ charged-current cross section in the NOνA near detector using data collected from November 2014 to February 2017, corresponding to an exposure of $8.09 x 10²⁰ protons-on-target of a primarily neutrino beam. The near detector is located at Fermilab, 800 m from the primary target. The neutrino beam peaks near 2 GeV and is able to probe a variety of different neutrino-nucleus interactions through their final-state characteristics. The flux-integrated double-differential cross section is measured with respect to the final-state electron kinematics, as well as the total cross-section as a function of neutrino energy integrated over the same phase space used for the double-differential measurement. | |
