ACHILLES: A CHIcagoLand Lepton Event Simulator
ACHILLES: event generator for electron– and neutrino–nucleus scattering with spectral functions and cascade
Event generator for lepton–nucleus scattering that combines ab-initio-inspired nuclear models (spectral functions) with a factorised treatment of the hard interaction and a semi-classical intranuclear cascade, validated on electron scattering and applied to neutrino interactions.
