  1. New Approaches in Scintillation Detectors in the Context of • HEP Calorimetry and Medical Imaging Paul Lecoq CERN, Geneva

  2. X-gdetection • Whatever the energy range (GeV for HEP, 100s KeV for medicalimaging)X-g detectors record only a global information on the events: • time stamp (limited by the timing resolution of the whole acquisition chain) • Total energydeposit in a crystal (100cc for HEP, 0.05 to 0.1 cc in PET) • Crystal ID for localization (limited by crystal size) • Someimprovementswith COG or DOI capability (severalcrystallayers or double readout) • 1.5mm depthresolution on 20mm long LYSO crystals for the ClearPEMwith APD readout

  3. Present limitations • As a resultthereis a trade-offbetween • Energyresolution, whichrequires the full containment of the conversion chain and therefore « large » detector blocks • Position resolution, for which the detection volume shouldberestricted to the first interaction point • This leads to a trade-offbetween • Reconstructed spatial resolution • Sensitivity (lessevents in photopeak for smaller pixels)

  4. A zoom on the conversion process (HEP) • The energy conversion from incoming X or g Rays is a complex process resulting from a cascade of events. g • Hadronicevents are even more complex • Details of the full cascade for HEP with contributions fromdifferent conversion mechanisms: scintillation and Cerenkov, wouldlead to particle identification within the shower

  7. Can we do better? Can webuild an imagingcalorimeter ? • The wholesequence carries a lot more information thanwhatisusuallyrecorded • Position of first impact • Nature of the energydeposition • Timing: the photon flux receivedfrom a « photoelectricpeak » resultsfrom ≤ 50% truephotoelectric and ≥ 50% Compton + photoelectric in the same pixel. The photons have differenttravel time. Differencecanbe as large as 150ps for the first detected photon.

  8. Towardsintellingent, multifunctionalmetamaterials • Progress towards « intelligent » materials, • metamaterialsbased on • crystallinefibers, • quantum dots, • photoniccrystals • Progress on photodetectors. Fullyintegrated and digital mutipixelimagingphotodetector • Towards a fully digital detector headwith photon counting and highaccuracy timing measurementcapability
