Systematic Uncertainties at the T2K Experiment for Oscillation Measurements

The T2K experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with the ability to measure precisely $\nu_{\mu}\rightarrow\nu_e$ and $\nu_{\mu}\rightarrow\nu_{\mu}$ oscillations. Control of systematic uncertainties-dominated by flux and cross section uncertainties-is critical for the precision of these measurements. An analysis of charged current $\nu_{\mu}$ interactions at the T2K near detector significantly reduces these uncertainties, from 26.9% to 3.0% for the current $\nu_{\mu}\rightarrow\nu_e$ measurement at T2K.
