"A High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Clinical PET Detection System Using a Gapless PMT-Quadrant-Sharing Method" by Wai-Hoi Wong, Hongdi Li, Yuxuan Zhang, Rocio Ramirez, Shaohui An, Chao Wang, Shitao Liu, Yun Dong, and Hossain Baghaei We developed a high-resolution Photomultiplier-Quadrant-Sharing (PQS) PET system for human imaging. This system is made up of 24 detector panels. Each panel (bank) consists of 3x7 detector blocks, and each block has 16x16 LYSO crystals of 2.35x2.35x15.2 mm³ . We used a novel detector-grinding scheme that is compatible with the PQS detector-pixel-decoding requirements to make a gapless cylindrical detector ring for maximizing detection efficiency while delivering an ultrahigh spatial-resolution for a whole-body PET camera with a ring diameter of 87 cm and axial field of view of 27.6 cm. more...

"Statistical Modeling for Radiation Hardness Assurance: Toward Bigger Data" by R. Ladbury and M. J. Campola New approaches to statistical modeling in radiation hardness assurance are discussed. These approaches yield quantitative bounds on flight-part radiation performance even in the absence of conventional data sources. This allows the analyst to bound radiation risk at all stages and for all decisions in the RHA process. It also allows optimization of RHA procedures for the project's risk tolerance. more...

"Study of Charge Diffusion in a Silicon Detector Using an Energy Sensitive Pixel Readout Chip" by E. J. Schioppa, J. Idarraga, M. van Beuzekom, J. Visser, E. Koffeman, E. Heijne, K. J. Engel, and J. Uher A 300 μm thick thin p-on-n silicon sensor was connected to an energy sensitive pixel readout ASIC and exposed to a beam of highly energetic charged particles. By exploiting the spectral information and the fine segmentation of the detector, we were able to measure the evolution of the transverse profile of the charge carriers cloud in the sensor as a function of the drift distance from the point of generation. more...
