PET-TOF study of Silicon Photomultipliers with DRS4 Readout
Our goal is to develop a system with 100 picosecond time resolution for time of flight positron emission tomography [PET-TOF] using silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). We have obtained a coincidence time resolution of 188 ps FWHM with two LYSO crystals (3x3x15 mm) coupled to SiPMs and irradiated with Na source. The best time resolution was obtained with the signal trimmed by a clipping capacitanc...
متن کاملMeasurements of Cherenkov Photons with Silicon Photomultipliers
A novel photon detector, the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM), has been tested in proximity focusing Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) counters that were exposed to cosmic-ray particles in Ljubljana, and a 2 GeV electron beam at the KEK research facility. This type of RICH detector is a candidate for the particle identification detector upgrade of the BELLE detector at the KEK B-factory, for which th...
متن کاملCherenkov luminescence measurements with digital silicon photomultipliers: a feasibility study
BACKGROUND A feasibility study was done to assess the capability of digital silicon photomultipliers to measure the Cherenkov luminescence emitted by a β source. Cherenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is possible with a charge coupled device (CCD) based technology, but a stand-alone technique for quantitative activity measurements based on Cherenkov luminescence has not yet been developed. Silico...
متن کاملStudy of Silicon Photomultipliers for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Application
A relatively new photodetector, the silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), is well suited for PET applications. It has similar sensitivity and gain to the industry standard photomultiplier tube (PMT), but has advantages such as smaller size and insensitivity to magnetic field. These properties make this detector an active area of research in the PET field. I will study a simplified setup, comprised of...
متن کاملInfluence of Dark Count on the Performance of Silicon Photomultipliers
The introduction of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) as single photon sensitive detectors represents a promising alternative to traditional photomultiplier tubes. This is especially true in applications in which it is compulsory to attain magnetic field insensitivity, low photon flux detection, quantum efficiency in the blue region that is comparable to standard photomultipliers, high timing re...
