Abstract
We present a complete comparison of semi-inclusive nu mu-12C cross section measurements by T2K and MINER nu A collaborations with the predictions from the SuSAv2-MEC model implemented in the neutrino -nucleus event generator GENIE and an unfactorized approach based on the relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation. Results, that include cross sections as function of the final muon and proton kinematics and correlations between both, show that the agreement with data obtained by the relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation approach, that accounts for final-state interactions, matches or improves GENIE-SuSAv2 predictions for very forward angles where scaling violations are relevant.
