The frozen nucleon approximation in two-particle two-hole response functions

We present a fast and efficient method to compute the inclusive two-particle two-hole (2p–2h) electroweak responses in the neutrino and electron quasielastic inclusive cross sections. The method is based on two approximations. The first neglects the motion of the two initial nucleons below the Fermi...
