\label{fig:tracks}  The track of various channels in the NO$\nu$A detector. Each square colored point  indicate the location of a measurement in subsequent layers of the detector. From this, its clear that electron neutrino currents (center)  are not a major background to the muon neutrinos being measured in the Near Detector. Detector (top).  Since the its goal is to measure the dissappearance of muon neutrinos, this makes the Near Detector a very good way to estimate what would be expected in the Far Detector.
