Sunday Morning Session
- Elena Perez del Rio (INFN-LNF)
Two the most known techniques based on positron-electron annihilation are PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and PALS (Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy).
PET is a diagnostic method enabling imaging of the metabolism of chosen substances in the living organism. Metabolism rate depends on many factors, one of them is cancer growth in some region of body.
Other technique, commonly...

For an aging society, the socio-economic consequences of neoplastic diseases justify research towards developing...
I shall discuss various X ray detector systems used in exotic atoms experiments, starting with the Silicon Drift Detectors used in kaonic atoms measurements at Frascati within the SIDDHARTA-2 experiment. I shall then present the VOXES system, based on HAPG crystals, able to perform extreme precision X ray measurements. The VOXES system can be used both for fundamental science and for societal...
J-PET, as a total body PET device, gives an opportunity to perform additional investigations in medicine, that couldn’t be performed with the use of standard PET detectors. It can be also used as new research device for physics. However, these both aspects are very challenging because many difficulties and artifacts that requires explanation and overcoming. Therefore, various chambers and...
Łukasz Kapłon on behalf of the J-PET Collaboration.
Plastic scintillators are used in many applications connected with medical devices, for example in time-of-flight positron emission tomography [1], long-axial field of view positron emission tomography scanners [2] and in plastic scintillation dosimetry [3]. Scintillators absorb ionizing radiation and convert its energy into visible light...
