42. Ultrafast exciton-based scintillation in specifically engineered perovskites

Paul Rene Michel Lecoq

11/05/2026, 10:40

Ultrafast scintillators are critically demanded in a wide range of advanced radiation detection scenarios, including high-speed X-ray imaging, positron emission tomography (PET), time-of-flight (TOF)–based neutron and gamma-ray discrimination, and timing diagnostics at synchrotron radiation facilities. However, the scintillation response of conventional materials is fundamentally constrained...

38. Timing investigation of Tl2LaCl5: a high sensitivity fast scintillator for medical imaging detectors

Nicolaus Kratochwil (University of California, Davis)

Radiation detectors play a crucial role across a wide range of applications. Emerging technologies, such as photon-counting computed tomography and advanced single-photon emission computed tomography imaging, demand a combination of high energy resolution, fast scintillation kinetics, and high stopping power. Cerium-doped thallium lanthanum chloride (Tl$_2$LaCl$_5$:Ce, TLC) has recently been...

32. Integration of a BGO Window Faceplate and high quantum efficiency photocathode in Multi-Anode Microchannel Plate Photomultiplier Tubes

Dr Ryosuke Ota (UC Davis)

Image quality of positron emission tomography (PET) can be enhanced using time-of-flight (TOF) information between a pair of PET detectors. Coincidence time resolution (CTR) of commercially available TOF-PET scanners is as high as ~200 ps full width at half maximum (FWHM), showing improved PET image quality compared with non-TOF PET images. Theoretically, CTR can improve the signal to noise...

27. Cherenkov Timing in BGO and Rise Time Classification with FastIC+ ASIC

Francis Loignon-Houle (Instituto de Instrumentación para Imagen Molecular (I3M), CSIC—UPV)

11/05/2026, 11:40

The ultrafast emission of Cherenkov photons offers a route to enhance the coincidence time resolution (CTR) of time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) detectors. Although the Cherenkov yield under 511 keV excitation is low, these photons increase the signal onset steepness and thus the achievable timing precision. Among common scintillators, bismuth germanate (BGO) emits more...
