Description

Cerium-doped Lutetium–Yttrium Oxyorthosilicate (LYSO:Ce) was originally developed for medical imaging but has recently attracted considerable interest in nuclear and high-energy physics due to its high light yield, fast decay time, and excellent timing capabilities. In this work, we investigate the calibration, energy resolution, and timing performance of SiPM-coupled LYSO:Ce ([Lu(1−x)Yx]2SiO5:Ce) crystals using a 22Na source, which provides back-to-back photon pairs. The results provide insights into the suitability of LYSO:Ce for applications requiring precision timing and energy measurements of gamma-rays at the 50 keV to MeV range.
