Summary:We present our recent progress on the relativistic modeling of neutrino-nucleus reactions for their implementation in MonteCarlo event generators (GENIE, NEUT) employed in neutrino oscillation experiments. We compare charged-current neutrino and antineutrino cross sections obtained within the SuSAv2 model, which is based on the Relativistic Mean Field theory and on the analysis of the superscaling behavior exhibited by (\(e,e'\)) data. We also evaluate and discuss the impact of multi-nucleon excitations arising from 2p-2h states excited by the action of weak forces in a fully relativistic framework, showing for the first time their implementation in GENIE and their comparison with recent T2K data.
