摘要:

我们提出了一个应用Jagiellonian正电子发射断层扫描仪(J-PET)登记的γ量子的正电子偶素(o-Ps)衰变的研究。J-PET是第一台基于有机发光剂的正电子发射断层成像扫描仪,与目前所有基于无机晶体的PET扫描仪形成对比。蒙特卡罗模拟表明,J-PET作为一种轴对称和高接受度的扫描仪,可以用作多用途探测器,非常适合进行研究,包括例如,除了医学成像外,还包括正电子素衰变中的离散对称性测试。源自o-Ps衰变的伽马量子主要通过康普顿效应在塑性介质中相互作用,使得直接测量它们的能量是不可能的。然而,它是在本文中所示的J-PET扫描仪将使研究的o-Ps $\to3γ$衰变的角度和能量分辨率等于$σ(θ) \approx 0.4^{\circ}$和$σ(E) \approx 4.1$千电子伏,分别。一个数量级较短的衰减时间的信号从塑料制冷剂相对于无机晶体的结果,不仅在更好的定时性能的减少物理和仪器背景的关键,但也抑制了堆积显着,从而使补偿较低的效率的塑料制冷剂通过执行测量与较高的正电子源活动。

英文摘要:

We present a study of the application of the Jagiellonian Positron Emission Tomograph (J-PET) for the registration of gamma quanta from decays of ortho-positronium (o-Ps). The J-PET is the first positron emission tomography scanner based on organic scintillators in contrast to all current PET scanners based on inorganic crystals. Monte Carlo simulations show that the J-PET as an axially symmetric and high acceptance scanner can be used as a multi-purpose detector well suited to pursue research including e.g. tests of discrete symmetries in decays of ortho-positronium in addition to the medical imaging. The gamma quanta originating from o-Ps decay interact in the plastic scintillators predominantly via the Compton effect, making the direct measurement of their energy impossible. Nevertheless, it is shown in this paper that the J-PET scanner will enable studies of the o-Ps$\to3γ$ decays with angular and energy resolution equal to $σ(θ) \approx 0.4^{\circ}$ and $σ(E) \approx 4.1$ keV, respectively. An order of magnitude shorter decay time of signals from plastic scintillators with respect to the inorganic crystals results not only in better timing properties crucial for the reduction of physical and instrumental background, but also suppresses significantly the pileups, thus enabling compensation of the lower efficiency of the plastic scintillators by performing measurements with higher positron source activities.
