The release of GENIE v3.0.0 was a major milestone in the long history project, delivering several alternative comprehensive neutrino interaction models, improved charged-lepton scattering simulations, range beyond Standard Model simulation capabilities, experimental interfaces, expanded core framework and advanced new frameworks for global analysis data tuning models. Steady progress continued following v3.0.0. New tools large number physics model configurations, tunes have been made...
The genie neutrino Monte Carlo describes neutrino-induced hadronization with an effective model, known as Andreopoulos-Gallagher-Kehayias-Yang (agky), which is interfaced pythia at high invariant mass. Only the low-mass agky model parameters were extracted from hadronic shower data FNAL 15 ft and BEBC experiments. In this paper, first tune on averaged charged multiplicity deuterium hydrogen bubble chamber experiments presented, a complete estimation of parameter uncertainties. A partial...
This article summarizes the state of art ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ and ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ $\mathrm{CC}0\ensuremath{\pi}$ cross-section measurements on carbon argon discusses relevant nuclear models, parametrizations uncertainties in GENIE v3. The event topology is common experiments at a few-GeV energy range. Although its main contribution comes from quasielastic interactions, this still not well understood. global analysis framework exploited to...
A neutrino community workshop was held at Fermilab in Jan 2020, with the aim of developing an implementation plan for a set common interfaces to Neutrino Event Generators. This white paper summarizes discussions and resulting plan.
We present the first global tuning, using GENIE, of four transverse kinematic imbalance measurements neutrino-hydrocarbon scattering, both with and without pion final states, from T2K MINERvA experiments. As a proof concept, we have simultaneously tuned initial state final-state interaction models (SF-LFG hA, respectively), producing new effective theory that more accurately describes data.

Geant4 is the leading detector simulation toolkit used in high energy physics to design detectors and optimize calibration reconstruction software. It employs a set of carefully validated models simulate interactions particles with matter across wide range interaction energies. These models, especially hadronic ones, rely largely on directly measured cross-sections phenomenological predictions physically motivated parameters estimated by theoretical calculation or measurement. Because these...
