Radiative effects simulation for electrons and neutrinos interactions with nuclei, in a neutrino dedicated Monte Carlo.

ORAL

Abstract

Neutrino oscillation measurements relies on a proper simulation of neutrino-nuclei interactions. Nowadays, several operational MC generators are simulating the neutrinos interactions with a nucleon inside a nuclei, including GENIE, vastly in use within the neutrino community. We present the improvements and validation of GENIE simulation environment by comparing its output when simulating electrons interactions to existing data from previous electron scattering experiments for the first time. Our work includes the necessary radiative corrections for the electron simulation mode, which could be partially used also for the neutrino mode.
