This is a plot of the surrogate function that describes the relationship between the number of Time-over-Threshold (ToT) counts and the energy measured by the Timepix detector [1], as described by Jakubek et al [2, 3]. The function plotted uses calibration constants obtained for pixel 00000 of the LUCID experiment's TPX 0 detector, where a = 2.24852, b = 80.6086, c = 252.004 and t = -0.62902.
