59 SUMMARY The RIA/RMF describes in a reasonable way QE(e,e ) data, satisfying scaling behavior and providing an asymmetric superscaling L function in accordance with data. Contrary to most NR/SR models (likewise RFG), RMF violates scaling of zeroth order, i.e., f T > f L. This seems to be consistent with(e,e ) data analysis. RMF applied to neutrino scattering also satisfies scaling/superscaling properties. RMF provides results in excellent agreement with SuSA/SuSAv approaches. Significant discrepancy with MiniBooNE data: Important enhancement of p-h effects. RMF results (likewise SuSA/SuSAv) in accordance with NOMAD data. Correlation between axial strangeness and axial mass in NC processes. Some discrepancy with MiniBooNE data: role of p-h?, strangeness?... RMF leads to scaling for the PV (e,e ) responses. Similar to the EM ones. SuSAv-MEC applied to neutrino reactions describes properly MiniBooNE, MinerVa and TK data. Significant enhancement due to ph-mec. Seattle, 1/6/16 p. 46
