Hi Jost, Thanks for work on this! * I suggest committing the new cross sections with some appropriate name, and also re-committing copies of the existing default xs files with a name as you suggest. Maybe don’t change the defaults at the moment. (Actually probably would be good to establish some naming conventions...). * Yes, that would be very welcome. I suggest a new directory. * I found a note in my log (from 2010!) that xs_nue_O16_2.dat was a very old version made by Rachel Carr. I think it might be from Haxton, but would have to check.

In 2018, a more accurate calculation was published (see arXiv:1807.02367<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/arxiv.org/abs/1807.02367__;!!OToaGQ!4MiIkgGMQYX-6faa43RfJ-KU2m-xw1Qxsb1328GGGJamZNAfZWvEjXUmog3YTrVSbg$> and arXiv:1809.08398<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/arxiv.org/abs/1809.08398__;!!OToaGQ!4MiIkgGMQYX-6faa43RfJ-KU2m-xw1Qxsb1328GGGJamZNAfZWvEjXUmog2aA6zZRA$>). I’ve already implemented these cross sections in sntools<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/JostMigenda/sntools__;!!OToaGQ!4MiIkgGMQYX-6faa43RfJ-KU2m-xw1Qxsb1328GGGJamZNAfZWvEjXUmog0qzY0Z6w$> and have written a short script to output them in the GLoBES format. Before I submit the updated files as a PR, just a few quick questions: * Should I replace the older cross section files for those interactions? Or rename those to e.g. xs_nuebar_O16_Kolbe2002.dat? * Should I commit the Python script to generate these files as well? I can see that there are already a few auxillary scripts in xscns/generic_xs/. * For the nue cross section, I can see two files (xscns/xs_nue_O16.dat and xscns/xs_nue_O16_2.dat) with different values. The former appears to correspond to the Kolbe et al. 2002 paper, but I can’t find any indication what the latter is? — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
