Description

The MiniBooNE large axial-mass anomaly has motivated the development of new theoretical Charged Current Quasi-Elastic (CCQE) cross-section models in recent years. This talk reviews the development of NEUT to incorporate these more sophisticated CCQE models, including multi-nucleon interaction (2p2h) effects. The focus is on a fit to tune the new models available in NEUT to data from MINERvA and MiniBooNE data, and to select a default model for T2K from those available. The relationships to various T2K analyses are explained, and the effect on neutrino energy reconstruction from measured lepton kinematics is discussed.
