Martini et al. [Phys. Rev. C 94, 015501 (2016)] recently observed that when the produced-leptons mass plays an important role, the charged-current quasielastic cross section for muon neutrinos can be higher than that for electron neutrinos. Here I argue that this effect appears solely in the theoretical descriptions of nuclear effects in which nucleon knockout requires the energy and momentum transfers to lie in a narrow range of the kinematically allowed values.

One of the largest sources of systematic uncertainties in ongoing neutrino-oscillation measurements is the description of nuclear effects. Its considerable reduction is expected thanks to the dedicated studies of (anti)neutrino-nucleus interactions i
n the MINERvA experiment. In this article, the calculations within the spectral function approach are compared to the charged-current quasielastic cross sections reported from MINERvA. The obtained results show that the effect of final-state interactions on the (anti)muon kinematics plays pivotal role in reproducing the experimental data.
We estimate the theoretical uncertainties of the model developed in Phys. Rev. C70 055503 for inclusive quasielastic charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions at intermediate energies. Besides we quantify the deviations of the predictions of this ma
ny body framework from those obtained within a simple Fermi gas model. An special attention has been paid to the ratio sigma(mu)/sigma(e) of interest for experiments on atmospheric neutrinos. We show that uncertainties affecting this ratio are likely smaller than 5%
A detailed study of charged current quasielastic neutrino and antineutrino scattering cross sections on a $^{12}$C target with no pions in the final state is presented. The initial nucleus is described by means of a realistic spectral function $S(p,{
cal E})$ in which nucleon-nucleon correlations are implemented by using natural orbitals through the Jastrow method. The roles played by these correlations and by final-state interactions are analyzed and discussed. The model also includes the contribution of weak two-body currents in the two-particle two-hole sector, evaluated within a fully relativistic Fermi gas. The theoretical predictions are compared with a large set of experimental data for double-differential, single-differential and total integrated cross sections measured by the MiniBooNE, MINER$ u$A and T2K experiments. Good agreement with experimental data is found over the whole range of neutrino energies. The results are also in global good agreement with the predictions of the superscaling approach, which is based on the analysis of electron-nucleus scattering data, with only a few differences seen at specific kinematics.
The usage of Monte Carlo neutrino event generators (MC$ u$EGs) is a norm within the high-energy $ u$ scattering community. The relevance of quasielastic (QE) energy regimes to $ u$ oscillation experiments implies that accurate calculations of $ u A$
cross sections in this regime will be a key contributor to reducing the systematic uncertainties affecting the extraction of oscillation parameters. In spite of this, many MC$ u$EGs utilize highly phenomenological, parameterized models of QE scattering cross sections. Moreover, a culture of validation of MC$ u$EGs against prolific electron ($e$) scattering data has been historically lacking. In this work, we implement new $e A$ cross sections obtained from nuclear ab initio approaches in GENIE, the primary MC$ u$EG utilized by the FNAL community. In particular, we utilize results from Quantum MC methods which solve the many-body nuclear problem in the Short-Time Approximation (STA), allowing consistent retention of two-nucleon dynamics which are crucial to explain available nuclear electromagnetic (electroweak) data over a wide range of energy and momentum transfers. This new implementation in GENIE is fully tested against the world QE electromagnetic data, finding agreement with available data below $sim2,$GeV of beam energy with the aid of a scaling function formalism. The STA is currently limited to study $Aleq12$ nuclei, however, its semi-inclusive multibody identity components are exportable to other many-body computational techniques such as Auxiliary Field Diffusion MC which can reach $Aleq40$ systems while continuing to realize the factorization contained within the STAs multinucleon dynamics. Together, these developments promise to make future experiments such as DUNE more accurate in their assessment of MC$ u$EG systematics, $ u$ properties, and potentially empower the discovery of physics beyond the Standard Model.
We use a recent scaling analysis of the quasielastic electron scattering data from $^{12}$C to predict the quasielastic charge-changing neutrino scattering cross sections within an uncertainty band. We use a scaling function extracted from a selectio
n of the $(e,e)$ cross section data, and an effective nucleon mass inspired by the relativistic mean-field model of nuclear matter. The corresponding super-scaling analysis with relativistic effective mass (SuSAM*) describes a large amount of the electron data lying inside a phenomenological quasielastic band. The effective mass incorporates the enhancement of the transverse current produced by the relativistic mean field. The scaling function incorporates nuclear effects beyond the impulse approximation, in particular meson-exchange currents and short range correlations producing tails in the scaling function. Besides its simplicity, this model describes the neutrino data as reasonably well as other more sophisticated nuclear models.
