MCP PET Simulation - 6

This simulation explores the efficiency and material effects of MCP PET detectors. It analyzes the number of photons detected and generated, as well as the fraction of absorbed photons and photo-electrons. The simulation also considers the impact of different materials and the emission spectra.

  1. MCP PET Simulation - 6 • # of photon detected at photocathode # of generated photon at 511keV 26000/MeV * 0.511 = 13286. # of photon at peak = ~13240 # of photo-electron( after Q.E applied) # at peak = ~370. 2. Efficiency & Material effect

  2. LSO Black qc Air MCP # of photon detected at photo cathode # of photon generated = absorbed photons at the side walls+ bulk absorbed photons + detected photon at photo cathode Bulk absorption length = ~ 20cm. “Average distance traveled by a phton before being absorbed by the medium” Index of Refraction (LSO) = 1.82 Critical Angle( LSO/Air) = 33.3 deg. qc =arcsin( n2/n1) Ratio of solid angle = 19.6% 2(1-cosq) No bulk absorption Mean = 19.5% (%) Ratio of detected photon/absorbed photon Assume no bulk absorption
