The angular distribution of the phase space arising in two-particle emission reactions induced by electrons and neutrinos is computed in the laboratory (Lab) system by boosting the isotropic distribution in the center of mass (CM) system used in Monte Carlo generators. The Lab distribution has a singularity for some angular values, coming from...

Two-particle two-hole contributions to electroweak response functions are computed in a fully relativistic Fermi gas, assuming that the electroweak current matrix elements are independent of the kinematics. We analyze the genuine kinematical and relativistic effects before including a realistic meson-exchange current operator. This allows one...

We develop a model of relativistic, charged meson-exchange currents (MEC) for neutrino-nucleus interactions. The two-body current is the sum of seagull, pion-in-flight, pion-pole and Δ-pole operators. These operators are obtained from the weak pion-production amplitudes for the nucleon derived in the nonlinear σ-model together with weak...

We use a recently developed model of relativistic meson-exchange currents to compute the neutron–proton and proton–proton yields in (νμ,μ−) scattering from 12C in the 2p–2h channel. We compute the response functions and cross sections with the relativistic Fermi gas model for different kinematics from intermediate to high momentum transfers. We...

We present a fast and efficient method to compute the inclusive two-particle two-hole (2p–2h) electroweak responses in the neutrino and electron quasielastic inclusive cross sections. The method is based on two approximations. The first neglects the motion of the two initial nucleons below the Fermi momentum, which are considered to be at rest....

We present a detailed study of charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions in a fully relativistic framework and comparisons with recent experiments spanning an energy range from hundreds of MeV up to 100 GeV within the superscaling approach, which is based on the analysis of electron-nucleus scattering data and has been recently improved with...

We use a relativistic model of meson-exchange currents to compute the proton-neutron and proton-proton yields in (e,e ) scattering from 12C in the 2p-2h channel. We compute the response functions and cross section with the relativistic Fermi gas model for a range of kinematics from intermediate- to high-momentum transfers. We find a large...

We analyze the density dependence of the contribution of meson-exchange currents to the lepton-nucleus inclusive cross section in the two-particle two-hole channel. The model is based on the relativistic Fermi gas, where each nucleus is characterized by its Fermi momentum kF. We find that the 2p-2h nuclear response functions at their peaks...

A detailed study of charged current quasielastic neutrino and antineutrino scattering cross sections on a C12 target with no pions in the final state is presented. The initial nucleus is described by means of a realistic spectral function S(p,E) in which nucleon-nucleon correlations are implemented by using natural orbitals through the Jastrow...
