This is a port of PR #7 opened by @afropapp13 with some reorganisation of tunes.

Adding new tunes for SBN using the MINERvA Nature (T. Cai et al, Nature 614 (2023) 48-53) and elementary-target (A. Meyer et al, arXiv: 2512.14097) papers.

These tunes impact the z-expansion axial form factors. There are a few new sets:

  • minerva: arXiv, no sum rules applied, kmax=2
  • minervaFull: arXiv, sum rules applied, kmax=2 (+4 = 6)
  • minervaNature: Nature, sum rules applied, kmax=4 (+4 = 8)
  • lqcd: no sum rules applied, kmax=2
  • lqcdFull: sum rules applied, kmax=2 (+4 = 6)

Calling @afropapp13 , @sungbinoh , and @nathanielerowe to review.

40k nucleons sampled based on imposing 8 hour threshold for QEL cross section calculation. (250 knots, E max = 1000 GeV --> about 150 knots sampled below the integral nuclear cutoff configured at 10 GeV)
2k nucleons --> 1547 s
5k nucleons --> 3729 s
10k nucleons --> 6505 s

Fitting those gives a best-fit which intersects ~7 hours at 40k nucleons, adding uncertainty --> 7.5 hours. Close enough.
