Description
The use of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) as photon detectors in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) modules offers significant advantages over conventional light sensors, including application in a magnetic field, better resolution and easier operation. Different types of SiPMs have been tested: Photonique, 2.1 × 2.1 mm2 , Hamamatsu 3 × 3 mm2 and STMicroelectronics 3.5 × 3.5 mm2. Dark noise, surface sensitivity, photon detection efficiency and linearity at low light intensities have been measured. A LYSO crystal was coupled to a SiPM to test the performance as a photon detector for PET. We will present the results of the measurements for different samples and types.
