Weinstein","Peter Blunden","Steven Dytman","Noah Steinberg"],"abstract":"Due to the similarities between electron-nucleus ($eA$) and neutrino-nucleus scattering ($\\nu A$), $eA$ data can contribute key information to improve cross-section modeling in $eA$ and hence in $\\nu A$ event generators. However, to compare data and generated events, either the data must be radiatively corrected or radiative effects need to be included in the event generators. We implemented a universal radiative corrections program that can be used with all reaction mechanisms and any $eA$ event generator. Our program includes real photon radiation by the incident and scattered electrons, and virtual photon exchange and photon vacuum polarization diagrams. It uses the ``extended peaking\" approximation for electron radiation and neglects charged hadron radiation. This method, validated with GENIE, can also be extended to simulate $\\nu A$ radiative effects. This work facilitates data-event-generator comparisons used to improve $\\nu A$ event generators for the next-generation of neutrino experiments.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05736v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.05736v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-universal-implementation-of-radiative","repo_url":"https://github.com/e4nu/emMCRadCorr","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
