Abstract

We explore the combined lepton and hadron kinematic observables from the exclusive Valencia 2p2h model. We present variables of interest that are available due to the exclusive kinematics and compare them with the democratically distributed outgoing nucleon kinematics as currently treated in neutrino event generators. We also show the effect of nuclear rescattering based on the NEUT semiclassical cascade. We comment on the observability of these variables in current and future long baseline neutrino detectors.
