Abstract
A set of comparisons among neutrino interaction experiments [MiniBooNE, MINERvA, Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K), and MicroBooNE] is presented. This gives a broad view of the field of neutrino-nucleus interactions. The emphasis is on charged-current inclusive, quasielastic-like, and pion production experiments. Measurements are compared in new ways. Comparisons of recent data with available event generator codes are made more comprehensively than is regularly found in most previous publications. Generator studies show sensitivities for experimental model dependence. Efficiencies calculated with different generators are presented in a novel way. A comparison of different forward-folding techniques is also presented.
