Description

T2K has published oscillation measurements for $\nu_\mu$ disappearance and for $\nu_e$ appearance. Both of these rely on energy measurements in the Super-Kamiokande far detector. 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.
