Abstract
As explained in chapter 2, the nucleus is a complex environment, and the interactions between nucleons affect neutrino-nucleus scattering distributions. Several different theories attempt to explain the effects. The NuWro event generator [10] includes several of these models; the details of their implementations are described in [9]. All of the effects are described in chapter 2; this section includes a summary of the models available and how they can be combined. We will then compare the predictions of the different models to our cross section measurement.
