This paper presents the model-based design and evaluation of an instrument that estimates
incident neutron direction using the kinematics of neutron scattering by hydrogen-1 nuclei in …

Objective. Time-of-flight (TOF) and depth-of-interaction (DOI) are well recognized as
important information to improve PET image quality. Since such information types are not …

The challenge to reach 10 ps coincidence time resolution (CTR) in time-of-flight positron
emission tomography (TOF-PET) is triggering major efforts worldwide, but timing …

We report on the position, timing, and energy resolution of a range of plastic scintillator bars
and reflector treatments using dual-ended silicon photomultiplier readout. These …

A large number of particle detectors employ liquid argon as their target material owing to its
high scintillation yield and its ability to drift ionization charge over large distances …

In TOF-PET, the method of timestamp calculation is an important factor that affects
coincidence resolving time (CRT). In independent readout detectors, for one-to-one coupled …

The spatial resolution of small animal positron emission tomography (PET) scanners can be
improved by the use of crystals with fine pitch and rejection of inter-crystal scattering (ICS) …

Scintillators play a key role in the detection chain of several applications which rely on the
use of ionizing radiation, and it is often mandatory to extract and detect the generated …

In positron emission tomography (PET), long crystals (20 mm) are used to enhance
detection efficiency and increase scanner sensitivity. However, for fast time-of-flight (TOF) …

Coincidence timing resolution (CTR) is an important parameter in clinical positron emission
tomography (PET) scanners to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of PET images by using …
