A 50 ps resolution monolithic active pixel sensor without internal gain in SiGe BiCMOS technology
G. Iacobucci, R. Cardarelli, S. Débieux +9
A monolithic pixelated silicon detector designed for high time resolution has been produced in the SG13G2 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology of IHP Mikroelektronik. This proof-of-concep…
The TT-PET Data Acquisition and Trigger System
Y. Bandi, Y. Favre, D. Ferrere +11
This paper describes the data acquisition and trigger system of the Thin Time-of-flight PET (TT-PET) scanner. The system is designed to read out in the order of 1000 pixel sensors…
Module concept and thermo-mechanical studies of the silicon-based TT-PET small-animal scanner
Didier Ferrere, Yves Bandi, Frank Cadoux +10
The TT-PET collaboration is developing an MRI-compatible small animal PET scanner in which the sensitive element is a monolithic silicon pixel ASIC targeting 30 ps RMS time resolut…
Expected performance of the TT-PET scanner
Emanuele Ripiccini, Daiki Hayakawa, Giuseppe Iacobucci +6
The TT-PET collaboration is developing a small animal TOF-PET scanner based on silicon detectors featuring 30 ps RMS time resolution and intended to be inserted in an existing MRI…
Characterization of the demonstrator of the fast silicon monolithic ASIC for the TT-PET project
Lorenzo Paolozzi, Yves Bandi, Roberto Cardarelli +13
The TT-PET collaboration is developing a small animal TOF-PET scanner based on monolithic silicon pixel sensors in SiGe BiCMOS technology. The demonstrator chip, a small-scale vers…
A monolithic ASIC demonstrator for the Thin Time-of-Flight PET scanner
Pierpaolo Valerio, Roberto Cardarelli, Giuseppe Iacobucci +8
Time-of-flight measurement is an important advancement in PET scanners to improve image reconstruction with a lower delivered radiation dose. This article describes the monolithic…
