Description
Reliable theoretical modeling of neutrino-nucleus interactions is an essential requirement for current and next-generation neutrino-oscillation experiments, such as MicroBooNE and DUNE, which use argon as the target material. In this talk, I describe the argon spectral function framework in NuWro Monte Carlo event generator, with a detailed description of how nuclear information is translated into exclusive final-state topologies. The framework is tested using MicroBooNE CC1p0π transverse kinematic imbalance measurements, comparing different assumptions for the nucleon axial form factor and the strength of intranuclear cascade effects. Among the four configurations considered, the combination of stronger cascade effects and the lattice-QCD axial form factor is preferred by the selected MicroBooNE observables.
