A saturation calibration of Hamamatsu’s multi-pixel photon counter

A relative calibration of the Fine-Grained Detector (FGD) in the T2K experiment is presented, with emphasis on the saturation calibration effects in Hamamatsu's multi-pixel photon counters (MPPCs). The calibration is produced on a test bed with a Hamamatsu Pico-Second Pulsed laser, on a small m...
