Calibration of photomultipliers gain used in the J-PET detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photomultipliers are commonly used in commercial PET scanner as devices which convert light produced in scintillator by gamma quanta from positron-electron annihilation into electrical signal. For proper analysis of obtained electrical signal, a photomultiplier gain curve must be known, since gain can be significantly different even between photomultipliers of the same model. In this article we describe single photoelectron method used for photomultipliers calibration applied for J-PET scanner, a novel PET detector being developed at the Jagiellonian University. Description of calibration method, an example of calibration curve and gain of few R4998 Hamamatsu photomultipliers are presented.

A novel, SiPM-array-based, monolithic scintillator detector for PET.
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are of great interest to positron emission tomography (PET), as they enable new detector geometries, for e.g., depth-of-interaction (DOI) determination, are MR compatible, and offer faster response and higher gain than other solid-state photosensors such as avalanche photodiodes. Here we present a novel detector design with DOI correction, in which a position-se...
متن کاملTime Calibration of the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope
The ANTARES deep-sea neutrino telescope comprises a three-dimensional array of photomultipliers to detect the Cherenkov light induced by upgoing relativistic charged particles originating from neutrino interactions in the vicinity of the detector. The large scattering length of light in the deep sea facilitates an angular resolution of a few tenths of a degree for neutrino energies exceeding 10...
متن کاملMeasurement of quantum efficiency using correlated photon pairs and a single-detector technique
A new approach is proposed to the calibration of photodetectors and the determination of the absolute value of the quantum efficiency of photon-counting photomultipliers using entangled-photon pairs. It is based on a new single-photodetector technique and a special modulation of the entangled-photon flux. The absolute values of the quantum efficiency have been determined for several photon-coun...

متن کامل[66Ga]Oxine complex preparation and stability as a possible PET radiopharmaceutical.
Background: Gallium-66 (T1/2= 9.49 h) is an interesting radionuclide that has potential for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of biological processes in intermediate to slow target tissue uptake. Oxine has been labeled with this radioisotope in the form of [66Ga]gallium chloride for its possible diagnostic properties. Materials and methods: 66Ga was produced in the 30 MeV cyclotron (Cy...
