Optimising the design of a large-area positron camera based on BaF2-TMAE/MWPC technology
Abstract
A prototype annihilation photon detector has been constructed by the RMH/ICR/RAL collaboration based on the coupling of a 50 × 50 × 8 mm3 BaF2 scintillator to a low pressure TMAE filled multiwire proportional chamber. Its design is undergoing optimisation and currently achieved performance is 8 mm FWHM spatial resolution, 12 ns time resolution and 19% efficiency.The problems associated with scaling up this technology for a clinical PET system …
