Abstract: 
Inclusive differential cross sections for various eA and nu A reactions are analyzed within the GiBUU theoretical framework and code. The treatment of electron -nucleus reactions has been improved by implementing a parametrized description of electron -nucleon interactions for a nucleon. Using the momentum of a nucleon inside the Fermi sea the electron -nucleon cross sections are then Lorentz -boosted to obtain the electron structure functions for nuclei. The neutrino structure functions are obtained from the ones for electrons by a transformation that involves the axial form factors and kinematical factors that account for the difference of vector and axial currents. Special emphasis is put on analyzing data from various different experiments in different neutrino energy regimes with one and the same theoretical input. Good agreement is reached for a wide kinematical regime, from MicroBooNE to the medium energy MINERvA experiment.
