Description
This study investigates neutrino–nucleus cross sections using the GENIE Monte Carlo generator, focusing on the Relativistic Fermi Gas Model (RFG) and its modifications relevant to the DUNE energy. In the DUNE experiment, neutrino–nucleus interactions constitute one of the dominant sources of systematic uncertainty in the final neutrino physics analyses, making accurate modeling essential. The baseline RFG model treats nucleons as a gas of free particles. However, modified approaches incorporate nuclear binding effects and short- and long-range correlations. Using GENIE, we evaluate the impact of these improvements by implementing corrections that account for such nuclear effects, aiming to provide more precise cross-section predictions. Comparisons between the simulations and available experimental data are performed to assess model performance and to improve the understanding of neutrino–nucleus interactions in the DUNE energy regime.
