Hi Gabe,
Recently someone pointed out that the W^2 plot of fig 1 in my proceedings
(attached, KNOtoPYTHIA3.pdf) may be wrong.
http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.00083
This is the true W^2 plot of numu+water interaction with Honda flux.
Here, my understanding is, "RES" is the resonances from Rein-Sehgal model,
"DIS" below W<1.7 GeV (or W2<2.9 GeV2) is the non-resonance background.
So I think "RES" does not include non-resonance background,
and total cross-section in this region (W2<2.9 GeV2) should be RES+DIS, am I right?
I can see similar plot from Josh Spitz's thesis, fig. 6.18, p97 (attached, JoshSpitz.pdf),
http://inspirehep.net/record/1083676
but it's nice if GENIE authors can confirm this, thanks!
Best,
Teppei
