Current and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are designed to measure neutrino mixing parameters and search for leptonic CP-violation. These experiments rely on a detailed understanding of the flux of a neutrino beam, and uncertainties in the neutrino flux and interaction models are a major contributor to systematic errors in experimental results. I'll present an overview of the T2K long-baseline experiment, and describe the flux model and method for reducing systematic uncertainties using subdetector data.
