Oslo (main)) ; Bjaalie, Jan G (CMBN, Oslo) ; Volgyes, David (U. Oslo (main)) ; Rissi, Michael (U. Oslo (main)) ; Dorholt, Ole (U. Oslo (main)) ; Stapnes, Steinar (U. Oslo (main) ; CERN)
COMPET is a pre-clinical MRI compatible PET scanner which decouples sensitivity and resolution by the use of a novel detector design. The detector has been built using 8 x 8 cm(2) square layers consisting of 30 LYSO crystals (2 x 3 x 80 mm(2)) interleaved with 24 Wavelength Shifting Fibers (WLS) (3 x 1 x 80 mm(3)). [...]

The AX-PET experiment: A demonstrator for an axial Positron Emission Tomograph
/ Bolle, E (Oslo U.) ; Casella, C (Zurich, ETH) ; Chesi, E (Ohio State U.) ; De Leo, R (INFN, Bari) ; Dissertori, G (Zurich, ETH) ; Fanti, V (INFN, Cagliari ; Cagliari U.) ; Gillam, J.E (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Heller, M (CERN) ; Joram, C (CERN) ; Lustermann, W (Zurich, ETH) et al.
AX-PET stands for a new geometrical concept for a high resolution and high sensitivity PET scanner, based on an axial arrangement of long scintillating crystals in the tomograph, for a parallax free PET detector. Two identical AX-PET modules - consisting of matrices of LYSO crystals interleaved with WLS strips - have been built. [...]

AX-PET: A novel PET concept with G-APD readout
/ Heller, M (CERN) ; Bolle, E (Oslo U.) ; Casella, C (Zurich, ETH) ; Chesi, E (Ohio State U., Columbus (main)) ; De Leo, R (INFN, Bari) ; Dissertori, G (Zurich, ETH) ; Fanti, V (Cagliari U. ; INFN, Cagliari) ; Gillam, J E (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Joram, C (CERN) ; Lustermann, W (Zurich, ETH) et al.
The AX-PET collaboration has developed a novel concept for high resolution PET imaging to overcome some of the performance limitations of classical PET cameras, in particular the compromise between spatial resolution and sensitivity introduced by the parallax error. The detector consists of an arrangement of long LYSO scintillating crystals axially oriented around the field of view together with arrays of wave length shifter strips orthogonal to the crystals.

3D silicon pixel sensors: Recent test beam results

The 3D silicon sensors aimed for the ATLAS pixel detector upgrade have been tested with a high energy pion beam at the CERN SPS in 2009. Two types of sensor layouts were tested: full-3D assemblies fabricated in Stanford, where the electrodes penetrate the entire silicon wafer thickness, and modified-3D assemblies fabricated at FBK-irst with partially overlapping electrodes.

A 3D silicon sensor fabricated at Stanford with electrodes penetrating throughout the entire silicon wafer and with active edges was tested in a 1.4 T magnetic field with a 180 GeV/c pion beam at the CERN SPS in May 2009. The device under test was bump-bonded to the ATLAS pixel FE-I3 readout electronics chip. [...]

The design and construction of a PET camera module with high sensitivity, full 3-D spatial reconstruction and very good energy resolution is presented. The basic principle consists of an axial arrangement of long scintillation crystals around the Field Of View (FOV), providing a measurement of the transverse coordinates of the interacting 511 keV gamma ray.
