Hadronization Model Tuning in GENIE v3

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-02-16 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

The GENIE neutrino Monte Carlo describes neutrino-induced hadronization with an effective model, known as AGKY, which is interfaced with PYTHIA at high invariant mass. Only the low-mass AGKY model parameters were extracted from hadronic shower data from the FNAL 15 ft and BEBC experiments. In this paper, the first hadronization tune on averaged charged multiplicity data from deuterium and hydrogen bubble chamber experiments is presented, with a complete estimation of parameter uncertainties. A partial tune on deuterium data only highlights the tensions between hydrogen and deuterium datasets.
