NEUT is a neutrino-nucleus interaction simulation. It can be used to simulate interactions for neutrinos with between 100 MeV and few TeV of energy. also capable simulating hadron within nucleus model nucleon decay hadron--nucleus particle propagation in detector simulations. This article describes the range modelled how each implemented.

We calculate the charged-current cross sections obtained at T2K off-axis near detector for ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$-induced events without pions and any number of protons in final state using transport theory as encoded gibuu model. In a comparison with recent data strength 2p2h multinucleon correlations is determined. Linking this to isospin ($\mathcal{T}$) initial nuclear state, it found that $\mathcal{T}=0$ leads significantly better fit by T2K, thus achieving consistency...

Distributions of transverse kinematic imbalance in neutrino-nucleus interactions the few GeV regime are sensitive to nuclear effects. We present a study comparing latest predictions from interaction simulations, NuWro and GENIE. dis- cuss differences between model predictions.

We present a Monte Carlo truth study examining nuclear effects in charged-current neutrino interactions using observables constructed the transverse plane. Three distributions are introduced that show very weak dependence on flux and its associated uncertainty. Measurements comparing these between quasi-elastic-like single charged pion final states will provide new constraints of effects. It is suggested on-axis position NuMI beam provides correct to take advantage this reduced energy...

The NEUT event generator is a widely-used tool to simulate neutrino interactions for energies between 10s of MeV and few TeV. plays crucial role in oscillation analyses the T2K Hyper-K experiments, providing primary simulation whose final-state products are measured infer parameters. also capable simulating nucleon decay hadron scattering. These proceedings present an expansion electron scattering before showing comparisons experimental measurements using discrepancies derive empirical...

Abstract As accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiments improve parameter constraints with more data, control over systematic uncertainties on the incoming flux and interaction models is increasingly important. The intense beams offered by modern permit a variety of options to constrain using in situ “standard candle” measurements. These standard candles must use very well understood processes avoid introducing additional model dependence. One option often discussed this context “low-...

Background: The measurement of neutrino oscillations and exotic physics searches are important parts the program in near future, with new state-of-the-art experiments planned within next decade. Future modern these fields will make use nuclear targets. Event generators (EGs) software used analysis oscillation experiments. EGs to predict kinematic observables for a range energies. These simulations simple models nucleon dynamics. As such, they may fail capture features more rigorous...

The potential for mis-modeling of $\nu_{\mu}$/$\nu_{e}$, $\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$/$\bar{\nu}_{e}$ and $\nu_{e}$/$\bar{\nu}_{e}$ cross section ratios due to nuclear effects is quantified by considering model spread within the full kinematic phase space CCQE interactions. Its impact then propagated simulated experimental configurations based on Hyper-K ESS$\nu$SB experiments. Although significant discrepancies between theoretical models confirmed, it found that these largely lie in regions contribute...

The potential for mismodeling of ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}/{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}$, ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}/{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}$, and ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}/{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}$ cross-section ratios due to nuclear effects is quantified by considering model spread within the full kinematic phase space charged-current quasielastic interactions. Its impact then propagated simulated experimental configurations based on Hyper-K...
