Abstract

We present our recent progress on the relativistic modeling of neutrino-nucleus reactions for their implementation in MonteCarlo event generators (GENIE, NEUT) employed in neutrino oscillation experiments. We compare charged-current neutrino and antineutrino cross sections obtained within the SuSAv2 model, which is based on the Relativistic Mean Field theory and on the analysis of the superscaling behavior exhibited by ($e,e'$) data. We also evaluate and discuss the impact of multi-nucleon excitations arising from 2p-2h states excited by the action of weak forces in a fully relativistic framework, showing for the first time their implementation in GENIE and their comparison with recent T2K data.<br />Comment: 2 pages, 1 figure.
