Description

The TT-PET project aims at constructing a thin PET scanner with time-of-flight information for concurrent PET-NMR diagnostics. As part of the project a fully monolithic Si-Ge pixel sensor is currently being developed to meet the ambitious goal of a 30ps timing resolution for low energy photons. Lab characterization results of the analogue and digital front-end electronics for a prototype sensor will be shown. Further to this, the hardware and firmware that was developed to make a custom scalable data acquisition (DAQ) system will also be presented.
