Description
ArgoNeuT has produced the first fully-automated reconstruction and selection of GeV-scale electron neutrinos scattering on argon, extracting a $\nu_e + \overline{\nu}_e$ total cross section. This talk will describe those results, emphasizing the novel electromagnetic shower classification tools developed for identifying GeV-scale $\nu_e$-like interactions among complex backgrounds and the broader context with respect to DUNE oscillation physics, where electron neutrino classification at the GeV scale is highly relevant but data-based studies are largely absent.
