Contribution

It extends the SuperScaling model to high energies up to 100 GeV and explores differences between electron and muon neutrino cross sections.

Findings

SuperScaling model agrees with experimental data across energies

Cross section sensitivities to nucleon form factors are analyzed

Differences between electron and muon neutrino cross sections are identified

Abstract

We compare the predictions of the SuperScaling model for charged current quasielastic muonic neutrino and antineutrino scattering from $^{12}$C with experimental data spanning an energy range up to 100 GeV. We discuss the sensitivity of the results to different parametrizations of the nucleon vector and axial-vector form factors. Finally, we show the differences between electron and muon (anti-)neutrino cross sections relevant for the $\nu$STORM facility.
