Study of Time Of Flight capability with Lutetium Fine Silicate and Multi-Pixel Photon Counter

摘要：

We have investigated the timing resolution and spatial resolution of a pair detector which consists of a MPPC and an LFS scintillator for the next generation positron emission tomography (PET) system. A combination of these new devices allows us to improve the timing resolution for Time Of Flight (TOF) - PET. The timing resolution was measured to be 96 ps in FWHM extracted from the photon detection time difference of two detectors. This indicates significant progress of the development of TOF capability for the PET system.
