Description

T2K is a long-baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiment which has precisely measured neutrino oscillation parameters and hinted at a significant matter-antimatter asymmetry in the lepton sector. In view of the upcoming program of upgrades of the beam intensity, a novel plastic-scintillator detector for the T2K near detector upgrade, called SuperFGD, is proposed aiming to reduce the statistical and systematic uncertainties of the measurements. The scintillation light from particle interactions in SuperFGD is collected by Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC), a solid state photomultiplier with high internal gain. In this talk, the characterization of the MPPC sensors is presented.
