MEC modeling

Abstract

2p-2h interactions are crucial for describing ν-Ar scattering, especially in the "dip region" between the Quasi-Elastic (QE) peak and Δ-resonance production. They involve the ejection of two nucleons, leading to two holes in the nuclear ground state. The underlying nuclear dynamics involve short-range correlations (SRC), long-range correlations (Random Phase Approximation, RPA), and the interplay of one- and two-body currents. Several models attempt to describe 2p-2h interactions like Valencia and SuSAv2-MEC. Despite progress, discrepancies exist between models and with data. I Will give an overview of 2p2h from the perspective of two Models Valencia and SuSAv2-MEC. I will introduce my current work to apply reweighting from SuSAv2 to Valencia on argon which will help improving the systematic uncertainty on MEC for SBN and DUNE.
