Description
The 280m Near Detector component of the T2K long-baseline neutrino experiment is largely based upon scintillator technology. Scintillator light is read out by a novel detector, the Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC), marketed by Hamamatsu Photonics. These devices are solid-state photodetectors operated in Geiger mode, and exhibit large, stable gain (of order 1E6). Extensive tests on these devices have now been performed, in order to characterise the properties of MPPCs to enable precise modelling, and to prepare for production-scale QA. The results of these tests are presented.
