    8181The output of `neutroot2`, contains a ROOT file containing `nevents` `neutvect` objects which has all the information about each event in it. This is read in by NUISANCE to generate predictions. `neutroot2` also saves the predicted flux (`flux_numu`) and event rate (`evtrt_numu`) predictions automatically into the output file so NUISANCE already has everything it needs.

    83 To read NEUT inputs the NEUT type just needs to be specified in the NUISANCE input card file, e.g. for MiniBooNE CCQE:
    84 `sample MiniBooNE_CCQE_XSec_1DQ2_nu  NEUT:/path/to/neut/input/file.root`

    109112The user specifies the parameter(s) and the range which should be varied as:
    110113
    111 `neut_parameter  MaCCQE  0.0  -4.0  4.0  1.0  FREE`
     114{{{
     115neut_parameter  MaCCQE  0.0  -4.0  4.0  1.0  FREE
     116}}}
    112117
    113118where `MaCCQE` is the parameter to be varied, `0.0` is the starting values, `-4.0` is the minimum value, `4.0` is the maximum value, `1.0` is the step-size to take, and `FREE` means the parameter is free to vary in the minimisation.
     
    117122The whole list of parameters can be found in `$NEUT_ROOT/src/reweight/NSyst.h` and the `return`ed `std::string`s (e.g. `MaCCQE` and `CA5RES`).

    119126The starting, minimum, maximum and step values are all in units of 1-sigma uncertainties. So `-4.0` for the minimum means -4*1-sigma ranges, and `0.0` for the starting value means the nominal value nominal.

    126133
    127134The output of the fit is in the units of `par_var`, not `par_value`. So an output for `MaCCQE` of `0.7` would equate to `1.21*(1+1*0.165) = 1.35` GeV.
