First Cerenkov charge-induction (CCI) TlBr detector for TOF-PET and proton range verification

Thallium bromide (TlBr) is a semiconductor material and, simultaneously, a good Cerenkov radiator. The performance of a TlBr detector that integrates two different readouts, the charge induction readout and the detection of Cerenkov light, was evaluated. A TlBr detector with dimensions of 4  ×  4  ×...

Description
Summary:Thallium bromide (TlBr) is a semiconductor material and, simultaneously, a good Cerenkov radiator. The performance of a TlBr detector that integrates two different readouts, the charge induction readout and the detection of Cerenkov light, was evaluated. A TlBr detector with dimensions of 4  ×  4  ×  5 mm3, with a monolithic cathode and an anode segmented into strips, was manufactured. One of the bare and polished 4  ×  4 mm2 faces of the detector was coupled to a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) to read out the Cerenkov light. Simultaneous timing and energy resolutions of
