Abstract
We present the findings of a study based on a new inelastic electron-scattering experiment on the
12C nucleus focusing on the kinematic region of Q2 = 0.8 GeV2/c2. The measured cross section is sensitive to
the transverse response function and provides a stringent test of theoretical models, as well as of the theoretical
assumptions made in Monte-Carlo event-generator codes developed for the interpretation of neutrino-nucleus
experiments, such as DUNE and HyperK. We find that modern generators such as GENIE and GiBUU reproduce our new experimental data within 10%.
