Description
NOvA's near detector has recorded millions of neutrino interactions in the NuMI beam at Fermilab in both neutrino-enhanced and antineutrino-enhanced beam modes. Although the beam is composed primarily of muon (anti)neutrinos, there are inherent electron neutrinos and antineutrinos in both beam modes. I will present the current status of a measurement of the $\overline{\nu}_e$ charged-current inclusive cross section in the NOvA near detector. The results will be presented as a double-differential cross section in the final-state electron energy and angle. The cross section is determined by performing a template fit of a multivariate electron (anti)neutrino identifier using a covariance matrix to account for correlations between the various beam mode, electron energy, and electron angle bins.
