Precision of energy reconstruction
● In NOvA (~2 GeV), 3% uncertainty means O (60 MeV).
● DUNE aims at uncertainties < 1% meaning O (25 MeV) precision of energy reconstruction.

“Simulation reproduces these measurements within roughly 10%.”
“The array of nuclear models available ... give similar results for these cross section ratios, none of which is confirmed by the data.”
“More theoretical work is needed to correctly model nuclear effects in neutrino interactions, from the QE to the DIS regime.”

Impulse approximation
For scattering in a given angle, neutrinos and electrons differ only due to the elementary cross sections.
In neutrino scattering, uncertainties come from (i) interaction dynamics and (ii) nuclear effects.
Electron-scattering data allow us to test both the vector contribution to the neutrino cross sections and nuclear effects.
It is highly improbable that theoretical approaches unable to reproduce (e,e') data would describe nuclear effects in neutrino interactions at similar kinematics.

“Neutrino interactions in the energy range of interest to current and near-future experiments (1 to 10 GeV), pose particular problems. In this energy range, bridging the perturbative and non-perturbative pictures of the nucleon, a variety of scattering mechanisms are important.... The models incorporated into neutrino simulations at these energies have been tuned primarily to this bubble chamber data. This data is not sufficient to completely constrain the models, particularly with regards to the simulation of nuclear effects. A logical place to turn for guidance are electron scattering experiments.”

Global picture
● DIS cross section overestimated by 30–50%, higher resonances too high as well.
● Delta resonance underestimated (10–50%), but its tail is described very well at some kinematics (~10%)
● Dip region underestimated (20–50%)
● Quasielastic peak overestimated by more than 100% at low energies, but much better agreement (~10%) for the data available at 2 GeV.
● Discrepancies increase with increasing scattering angle.

Resonances

● Higher resonances are clearly overestimated: visible in GENIE but not in (e, e’) data for A ≥ 12.
● Fermi motion broadens higher resonances, likely accidentally improving the agreement in the Δ tail.

● For |q| < 1 GeV, Δ can be distinguished in data.
● Δ position wrong by ~50–100 MeV: pions too hard.
● Correcting Δ position will improve the agreement in the dip region.

QE
● Discrepancy decreases with |q| increasing. Available QE data for ~2 GeV beams in good agreement.
● MEC contribution consistently worsens the agreement in the QE peak: RFG parameters determined without it.

Summary● Electron-scattering data give us unique opportunity of
validating Monte Carlo generators against data they were not tuned to.
● We assessed accuracy of GENIE and found a consistent, global picture.
● In GENIE, quasielastic scattering works fine at ~2 GeV, but improvements of pion production are called for. Pion spectra from GENIE are expected to be too hard. Tunes to bubble-chamber data may have underestimated uncertainties.
● Most of the observed issues with pion production do not originate from nuclear model, but from the elementary cross sections (physics or implementation).

It is valid when the momentum transfer |q| is high enough, as the probe's spatial resolution is ~1/|q|.
