Title: "Modeling Neutrino Quasielastic and Inelastic 
Scattering Using Electron Scattering Data" 

Abstract: We show how electron scattering data from Jefferson Lab 
and SLAC is used to model Quasielastic and Inelastic neutrino 
charged current interactions on nuclear targets. The models which 
are currently implemented in the GENIE MC generator include: 
Bodek-Ritchie Fermi motion, Bodek-Yang modeling of inelastic 
neutrino interactions, and Bodek-Budd-Bradford-Avvakumov nucleon 
form factors. Most recently we have added the Bodek-Budd-Christy 
modeling of the transverse enhancement (Meson Exchange Currents) 
of quasielastic scattering on nuclear targets.
