Abstract
In recent years a number of new theoretical models have been implemented into Monte-Carlo neutrino interaction event generators. Being able to compare multiple model predictions is invaluable to the field, especially as it is unfortunately still unclear which one provides the best fit to the entire collection of neutrino cross-section data. Using a recently developed neutrino generator tuning framework (NUISANCE), we review a selection of models in the NEUT and NuWro generators through comparisons to existing bubble chamber, MINERvA, and MiniBooNE cross-section data.
