NEUT development for T2K and relevance of updated 2p2h models

Abstract

The MiniBooNE large axial-mass anomaly has motivated the development of new theoretical Charged Current Quasi-Elastic (CCQE) cross-section models in recent years. These proceedings review the development of the neutrino simulation generator NEUT to incorporate these more sophisticated CCQE models, including multi-nucleon interaction (2p2h) effects. The fit results on the MINER$\hat{I}½$A and MiniBoone data are used to tune neutrino interaction models in NEUT and develop a default cross-section model for T2K.
