GiBUU and Shallow Inelastic Scattering

TL;DR

This paper discusses the GiBUU transport code's application to lepton-nucleus scattering, emphasizing validation against various reactions and its relevance to Shallow Inelastic Scattering, with comparisons to recent experimental data.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive validation of GiBUU for pion, electron, and photon reactions, and applies it to analyze Shallow Inelastic Scattering in neutrino experiments.

Findings

GiBUU accurately reproduces pion, electron, and photon-induced reaction data.

Predictions for differential cross sections in extit{Minerva} and extit{NOvA} experiments.

Comparison with MINOS data validates the model in the SIS region.

Abstract

In this talk we shortly describe the physics contents of the GiBUU transport code, used to describe lepton scattering off nuclei. Particular attention will be given to validation of the GiBUU in pion-, electron- and photon-induced reactions, which serve as a benchmark for neutrino-induced ones. We mainly concentrate on those properties of benchmark reactions, which are relevant to the region of Shallow Inelastic Scattering (SIS). Our results in this region are presented for integrated and differential cross sections. Comparison with recent MINOS inclusive data, as well as predictions for the differential cross sections measurable in \Minerva and \Nova experiments are made.
