The goal of the MuSun experiment at PSI is to measure the rate of muon capture on the deuteron with a precision of 1.5%. This rate will be used to fix the low-energy constant that describes the two-nucleon weak axial current in Chiral perturbation theory. It will therefore calibrate evaluations of solar proton-proton fusion and neutrino-deuteron scattering(SNO experiment). MuSun forms part of...

The largest source of uncertainty on the initial neutrino flux in modern
accelerator neutrino experiments is the poor knowledge on the production
of hadrons that decay into neutrinos. T2K is a long baseline
neutrino experiment that aims to precisely measure the parameters

disappearance as well as to look for the...

In this talk, I shall discuss the Super-K energy measurement, its calibration and its systematics, for both muons and electrons. I shall also briefly discuss energy measurement in the ND280 near detector.
