Theory
------
In order to retrieve correct results and provide correct KM3NeT weights (w2)
the treatment of the GiBUU weights is an important step. A brief description
of the GiBUU weights and how to calculate actual cross sections is given on the
`GiBUU Homepage<https://gibuu.hepforge.org/trac/wiki/perWeight>`__ and
a more detailed description of the calculation can be found in the `PhD Thesis
of Tina Leitner<https://inspirehep.net/literature/849921>`__ in Chapter 8.3.
As it is mentioned in the description of the output flux file in the
`documentation<https://gibuu.hepforge.org/Documentation/code/init/neutrino/initNeutrino_f90.html#robo1685>`__ this is not taken somehow into account inside the weights.
Following the description the GiBUU event weight can be converted to a binned
cross section via
.. math::
\frac{d\sigma}{E} = \frac{\sum_{i\in I_\text{bin}} w_i}{\Delta E}\cdot\frac{1}{E\Phi},
where :math:`\Phi`__ is the simulated flux
As the weights are given for each run individually the weight also has to be divided
by the number of runs.
