# Cross Sections for A(e,e')X Reactions

## TL;DR

This paper uses the GiBUU transport model to calculate inclusive electron scattering cross sections for C, Ar, and Ti, comparing results with JLAB data to test nuclear models relevant for neutrino experiments.

## Contribution

It applies the GiBUU framework to analyze (e,e') reactions on various targets, aiding the understanding of nuclear effects in neutrino experiments.

## Key findings

- Good overall agreement with experimental data
- Discrepancies mainly on low-electron-energy side of QE-peak
- Highlights importance of QE and 2p2h processes overlap

## Abstract

Recent JLAB measurements of inclusive (e,A) cross sections as a function of outgoing lepton momentum may provide information on the nucleon spectral function in targets that will be relevant for the planned DUNE neutrino long-baseline experiment. They also provide an important testing ground for neutrino generators. We have therefore used the transport theoretical framework and code GiBUU to calculate the cross sections for the targets C, Ar and Ti. We compare the calculations with the experimental data. The overall agreement is good. Relatively small discrepancies appear mainly on the low-electronenergy side of the QE-peak where QE and 2p2h excitation processes overlap.
