The production of intense neutrino beams at accelerator facilities requires exceptional understanding of chains of particle interactions initiated within extended targets. In this thesis, the calculation of neutrino production for T2K has been improved by using measurements of particle production from a T2K replica target, taken by the NA61/SHINE experiment. This enabled the reduction of the neutrino production uncertainty to the level of 5%, which will have a significant impact on neutrino oscillation and interaction measurements by T2K in the coming years. In addition to presenting the revised flux calculation methodology in an accessible format, this thesis also reports a joint T2K measurement of muon neutrino and antineutrino disappearance, and the accompanying electron neutrino and antineutrino appearance, with the updated beam constraint. 410 0$aSpringer theses. 606 $aNeutrino interactions 606 $aNeutrinos 615 0$aNeutrino interactions. 615 0$aNeutrinos. 676 $a539.7215 700 $aVladisavljevic$b Tomislav$0843616 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418439203316 996 $aPredicting the T2K Neutrino Flux and Measuring Oscillation Parameters$91882337 997 $aUNISA
