“…Therefore, the beamnormalization uncertainty of about 5% achieved in the MINOS and MINERvA experiments, seems to be a reasonable estimate for future oscillation experiments employing conventional beams. Note, however, that in the case of the off-axis T2K beam this uncertainty has been reduced to 3.6% in the neutrino mode and to 3.8% in the antineutrino mode, thanks to extensive use of the near-detector data [75]. Moreover, recently proposed new concepts of neutrino beams, such as an electron and muon neutrino beam from the decay of a stored muon beam (nuSTORM) [76], would allow the neutrino flux to be determined with an accuracy of the order of 1%, with the same systematic uncertainties of the neutrino and antineutrino fluxes.…”

Abstract. Future neutrino-oscillation experiments are expected to bring definite answers to the questions of neutrino-mass hierarchy and violation of charge-parity symmetry in the lepton sector. To realize this ambitious program it is necessary to ensure a significant reduction of uncertainties, particularly those related to neutrinoenergy reconstruction. In this review, we discuss different sources of systematic uncertainties, paying special attention to those arising from nuclear effects and detector response. By analyzing nuclear effects we show the importance of developing accurate theoretical models, capable to provide quantitative description of neutrino cross sections, together with the relevance of their implementation in Monte Carlo generators and extensive testing against lepton-scattering data. We also point out the fundamental role of efforts aiming to determine detector responses in test-beam exposures.
