Abstract

Pulse pileup events degrade the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of nuclear medicine data. When such events occur in multiplexed detectors, they cause spatial misposition, energy spectrum distortion and degraded timing resolution, which leads to image artifacts. Pulse pileup is pronounced in PETbox4, a bench top PET scanner dedicated to high sensitivity and high resolution imaging of mice. In that system, the combination of high absolute sensitivity, long scintillator decay time (BGO) and highly multiplexed electronics lead to a significant fraction of pulse pileup, reached at lower total activity than for comparable instruments. In this manuscript, a new pulse pileup rejection method named position shift rejection (PSR) is introduced. The performance of PSR is compared with a conventional leading edge rejection (LER) method and with no pileup rejection implemented (NoPR). A comprehensive digital pulse library was developed for objective evaluation and optimization of the PSR and LER, in which pulse waveforms were directly recorded from real measurements exactly representing the signals to be processed. Physical measurements including singles event acquisition, peak system sensitivity and NEMA NU-4 image quality phantom were also performed in the PETbox4 system to validate and compare the different pulse pile-up rejection methods. The evaluation of both physical measurements and model pulse trains demonstrated that the new PSR performs more accurate pileup event identification and avoids erroneous rejection of valid events. For the PETbox4 system, this improvement leads to a significant recovery of sensitivity at low count rates, amounting to about 1/4th of the expected true coincidence events, compared to the LER method. Furthermore, with the implementation of PSR, optimal image quality can be achieved near the peak noise equivalent count rate (NECR).

Abstract

A new phoswich detector is being developed at the Crump Institute, aiming to provide improvements in sensitivity, and spatial resolution for PET. The detector configuration is comprised of two layers of pixelated scintillator crystal arrays, a glass lightguide and a light detector. The annihilation photon entrance (top) layer is a $48\times48$ array of $1.01 \times 1.01 \times7 ~\hbox{mm}^{3}$ LYSO crystals. The bottom layer is a $32 \times 32$ array of $1.55 \times1.55 \times 9~\hbox{mm}^{3}$ BGO crystals. A tapered, multiple-element glass lightguide is used to couple the exit end of the BGO crystal array ( $52 \times 52~\hbox{mm}^{2}$ ) to the photosensitive area of the Position Sensitive Photomultiplier Tube ( $46 \times 46~\hbox{mm}^{2}$ ), allowing the creation of flat panel detectors without gaps between the detector modules. Both simulations and measurements were performed to evaluate the characteristics and benefits of the proposed design. The GATE Monte Carlo simulation indicated that the total fraction of the cross layer crystal scatter (CLCS) events in singles detection mode for this detector geometry is 13.2%. The large majority of these CLCS events (10.1% out of 13.2%) deposit most of their energy in a scintillator layer other than the layer of first interaction. Identification of those CLCS events for rejection or correction may lead to improvements in data quality and imaging performance. Physical measurements with the prototype detector showed that the LYSO, BGO and CLCS events were successfully identified using the delayed charge integration (DCI) technique, with more than 95% of the LYSO and BGO crystal elements clearly resolved. The measured peak-to-valley ratios (PVR) in the flood histograms were 3.5 for LYSO and 2.0 for BGO. For LYSO, the energy resolution ranged from 9.7% to 37.0% full width at half maximum (FWHM), with a mean of $13.4 \pm 4.8\%$ . For BGO the energy resolution ranged from 16.0% to 33.9% FWHM, with a mean of $18.6\pm 3.2\%$ . In conclusion, these results demonstrate that the proposed detector is feasible and can potentially lead to a high spatial resolution, high sensitivity and DOI PET system.

Abstract

The design of a dual modality imaging system for small animal optical and positron emission tomography imaging (OPET) is underway. Its detector must be capable of imaging high energy γ-rays from PET while also resolving optical wavelength photons from bioluminescence. GSO, high purity GSO, BGO, LSO, LYSO, and LaBr scintillators were investigated for their use in the OPET detector. Of specific interest were scintillators with low afterglow, since afterglow photons in the decay of the larger γ-ray events are indistinguishable from the photons generated by bioluminescence. Samples from these crystals were coupled to a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and produced scintillation light from γ-ray events originating from a positron source. The PMT output was directed to a special signal processing circuit that allowed measurement of single photons at different times in the decay of the scintillation. GSO and BGO exhibited optimal performance for use in the OPET system due to their low afterglow. LSO, LYSO, and LaBr were determined unsuitable for use with the current OPET design due to their significant afterglow components. The effect of the afterglow of GSO on the detection of the bioluminescence signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was evaluated for the OPET system.

Abstract

A combined optical positron emission tomography (OPET) system is capable of both optical and PET imaging in the same setting, and it can provide information/interpretation not possible in single-mode imaging. The scintillator array here serves the dual function of coupling the optical signal from bioluminescence/fluorescence to the photodetector and also of channeling optical scintillations from the gamma rays. We report simulation results of the PET part of OPET using GATE, a Geant4 simulation package. The purpose of this investigation is the definition of the geometric parameters of the OPET tomograph. OPET is composed of six detector blocks arranged in a hexagonal ring-shaped pattern with an inner radius of 15.6 mm. Each detector consists of a two-dimensional array of 8 /spl times/ 8 scintillator crystals each measuring 2 /spl times/ 2 /spl times/ 10 mm/sup 3/. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using the GATE software to measure absolute sensitivity, depth of interaction, and spatial resolution for two ring configurations, with and without gantry rotations, two crystal materials, and several crystal lengths. Images were reconstructed with filtered backprojection after angular interleaving and transverse one-dimensional interpolation of the sinogram. We report absolute sensitivities nearly seven times that of the prototype microPET at the center of field of view and 2.0 mm tangential and 2.3 mm radial resolutions with gantry rotations up to an 8.0 mm radial offset. These performance parameters indicate that the imaging spatial resolution and sensitivity of the OPET system will be suitable for high-resolution and high-sensitivity small-animal PET imaging.

For the transition to the {sup 17}F(g.s.) to which several multipoles contribute, the measured D{sub NN}(0{degree})={minus}0.13{plus_minus}0.05 is used to separate the Fermi and Gamow-Teller contributions at 0{degree}. The empirical Gamow-Teller strengths and the Fermi strengths are employed to estimate the solar neutrino absorption cross section in {sup 17}O and {sup 18}O. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}

Abstract

Gamow-Teller transition strengths obtained in the {sup 127}I(p,n){sup 127}Xe reaction studied at 94, 159, and 197 MeV incident proton energies are presented, and used to evaluate the efficiency of {sup 127}I as a solar neutrino detector. Excitation of the J{sup {pi}}=(3/2){sup +} first excited state at E{sub x}=0.125 MeV in {sup 127}Xe, sensitive to {sup 7}Be solar neutrinos, is evaluated. The sum of Gamow-Teller strength up to particle emission threshold and up to 20 MeV excitation energy are also reported. This paper also provides a new measurement of the Coulomb displacement energy {Delta}E{sub c}, the excitation energy of the isobaric analog state, and the centroid of the Gamow-Teller resonance in {sup 127}Xe. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}

Abstract

A complete set of spin observables was measured for the 2 H(p,n)2p reaction at 200 MeV at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) with the high intensity polarized ion source (HIPIOS) and the Indiana Neutron Polarization Facility (INPOL). The incident proton beam was delivered successively in each of the three spin states, normal ( N ), sideways ( S ), and longitudinal ( L ). Two large-volume neutron polarimeters placed along the 0° and 24° beam lines measured the polarizations of the emitted neutrons in each of the three spin states. The measured cross sections and spin observables are compared with three-body Faddeev calculations, which generally agree with the data. The ratio of the longitudinal to transverse response is suppressed rather than enhanced, as predicted by some models.

Data for 40 Ca(p,n) are compared with distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA) calculations with theory of finite Fermi systems (TFFS) wave functions.

Abstract

Double differential cross sections and analyzing powers over the quasielastic region have been measured using the ({ital {rvec p}},{ital n}) reaction on {sup 12}C and {sup nat}Pb. The data were obtained at proton energies of 495 and 795 MeV and cover momentum transfers from 1.0--2.1 fm{sup {minus}1} at 495 MeV data and from 0.0--3.5 fm{sup {minus}1} at 795 MeV. The cross section data are compared to results from a nonrelativistic reaction model that includes contributions from two-step scattering. The analyzing power measurements are compared to a recent relativistic plane-waves model.

Abstract

Virtual Compton Scattering (VCS) on the proton has been studied at Jefferson Lab using the exclusive photon electroproduction reaction (e p --> e p gamma). This paper gives a detailed account of the analysis which has led to the determination of the structure functions P{sub LL}-P{sub TT}/epsilon and P{sub LT}, and the electric and magnetic generalized polarizabilities (GPs) alpha{sub E}(Q{sup 2}) and beta{sub M}(Q{sup 2}) at values of the four-momentum transfer squared Q{sup 2} = 0.92 and 1.76 GeV{sup 2}. These data, together with the results of VCS experiments at lower momenta, help building a coherent picture of the electric and magnetic GPs of the proton over the full measured Q{sup 2}-range, and point to their non-trivial behavior.

Abstract

A complete set of polarization-transfer observables has been measured for quasifree (p\ensuremath{\rightarrow},n\ensuremath{\rightarrow}) reactions on $^{2}\mathrm{H}$, $^{12}\mathrm{C}$, and $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$ at a bombarding energy of 495 MeV and a laboratory scattering angle of 18\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. The data span an energy-loss range from 0 to 160 MeV, with a corresponding momentum transfer range of ${\mathit{q}}_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.}$=1.7--1.9 ${\mathrm{fm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$. The laboratory observables are used to construct partial cross sections proportional to the nonspin response and three orthogonal spin responses. These results are compared to the transverse spin response measured in deep inelastic electron scattering and to nuclear responses based on the random phase approximation. The polarization observables for all three targets are remarkably similar and reveal no evidence for an enhancement of the spin-longitudinal nuclear response relative to the spin-transverse response. These results suggest the need for substantial modifications to the standard form assumed for the residual particle-hole interaction.

Abstract

We have made the first measurements of the virtual Compton scattering (VCS) process via the H$(e,e'p)\gamma$ exclusive reaction in the nucleon resonance region, at backward angles. Results are presented for the $W$-dependence at fixed $Q^2=1$ GeV$^2$, and for the $Q^2$-dependence at fixed $W$ near 1.5 GeV. The VCS data show resonant structures in the first and second resonance regions. The observed $Q^2$-dependence is smooth. The measured ratio of H$(e,e'p)\gamma$ to H$(e,e'p)\pi^0$ cross sections emphasizes the different sensitivity of these two reactions to the various nucleon resonances. Finally, when compared to Real Compton Scattering (RCS) at high energy and large angles, our VCS data at the highest $W$ (1.8-1.9 GeV) show a striking $Q^2$- independence, which may suggest a transition to a perturbative scattering mechanism at the quark level., Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures.

Zero-degree cross sections have been measured for the {sup 11}B({ital p},{ital n}){sup 11}C reaction at bombarding energies of {ital E}{sub {ital p}}=160, 200, 494, 644, and 795 MeV. In addition, spectra have been obtained at laboratory scattering angles of 3{degree} and 5{degree} at 494 MeV, and the transverse spin-flip probability at zero degrees has been measured for {ital E}{sub {ital p}}=160 MeV. These data are used to obtain estimates of the Gamow-Teller transition strength to final states in {sup 11}C up to an excitation energy of {ital E}{sub {ital x}}{approx equal}14 MeV. The uncertainty (1 standard deviation) in the extracted transition strengths is estimated to be in the range (2--8)%. Measured cross sections for the first four excited states in {sup 11}C have been compared to distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations. In this comparison, no evidence is found in the cross-section data for certain effects associated with knock-on exchange and noncentral interactions.

Abstract

Differential-cross-section distributions for the {sup 7}Li({ital p},{ital n}){sup 7}Be(g.s.+0.43-MeV) reaction have been measured for {ital E}{sub {ital p}}=80, 120, 160, 200, 494, 644, and 795 MeV. These distributions have been integrated and normalized to independent values for the total cross section obtained from parametrizations of {sup 7}Li({ital p},{ital n}) activation measurements. Zero-degree cross sections obtained from this normalization are reported.

Abstract

The ratio of the proton elastic electromagnetic form factors, GEp/GMp, was obtained by measuring Pt and P, the transverse and longitudinal recoil proton polarization components, respectively, for the elastic epepreaction in the four-momentum transfer squared range of 0.5 to 3.5 GeV2. In the single-photon exchange approximation, GEp/GMp is directly proportional to Pt/P. The simultaneous measurement of Pt and P in a polarimeter reduces systematic uncertainties. The results for GEp/GMp show a systematic decrease with increasing Q2, indicating for the first time a definite difference in the distribution of charge and magnetization in the proton. The data have been reanalyzed and their systematic uncertainties have become significantly smaller than those reported previously. (Less)

Abstract

We have measured the parity-violating electroweak asymmetry in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from protons. Significant contributions to this asymmetry could arise from the contributions of strange form factors in the nucleon. The measured asymmetry is $A=\ensuremath{-}15.05\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.98(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.56(\mathrm{syst})\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{ppm}$ at the kinematic point $⟨{\ensuremath{\theta}}_{\mathrm{lab}}⟩=12.3\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ and $⟨{Q}^{2}⟩=0.477\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{(\mathrm{GeV}∕c)}^{2}$. Based on these data as well as data on electromagnetic form factors, we extract the linear combination of strange form factors ${G}_{E}^{s}+0.392{G}_{M}^{s}=0.014\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.020\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.010$, where the first error arises from this experiment and the second arises from the electromagnetic form factor data. This paper provides a full description of the special experimental techniques employed for precisely measuring the small asymmetry, including the first use of a strained GaAs crystal and a laser-Compton polarimeter in a fixed target parity-violation experiment.

Abstract

The design of an imaging system capable of detecting both high-energy /spl gamma/-rays and optical wavelength photons is underway at the UCLA Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging. This system, which we call optical PET (OPET), will be capable of noninvasively and repeatedly imaging small animal models in vivo for the presence of PET and optical signals. In this study, we describe the physical principles behind the operation of the OPET imaging system and discuss the design concept for one of the detector modules. Additionally, we demonstrate the operation of an initial prototype detector module for simultaneous detection and imaging of annihilation radiation and single optical photons emanating from separate sources. These results indicate that the construction of an imaging system based on this detector technology is feasible.

Abstract

Exclusive electroproduction of pi{sup 0} mesons on protons in the backward hemisphere has been studied at Q2 = 1.0 GeV2 by detecting protons in the forward direction in coincidence with scattered electrons from the 4 GeV electron beam in Jefferson Lab's Hall A. The data span the range of the total (gamma*p) center-of-mass energy W from the pion production threshold to W = 2.0 GeV. The differential cross sections sigma{sub T} + epsilon sigma{sub L}, sigma{sub TL}, and sigma{sub TT} were separated from the azimuthal distribution and are presented together with the MAID and SAID parameterizations.

Abstract

The instrumentation in Hall A at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility was designed to study electro-and photo-induced reactions at very high luminosity and good momentum and angular resolution for at least one of the reaction products. The central components of Hall A are two identical high resolution spectrometers, which allow the vertical drift chambers in the focal plane to provide a momentum resolution of better than 2 x 10(-4). A variety of Cherenkov counters, scintillators and lead-glass calorimeters provide excellent particle identification. The facility has been operated successfully at a luminosity well in excess of 10(38) CM-2 s(-1). The research program is aimed at a variety of subjects, including nucleon structure functions, nucleon form factors and properties of the nuclear medium. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

A high precision measurement of the transverse spin-dependent asymmetry A_T' in ^3He(e,e') quasielastic scattering was performed in Hall A at Jefferson Lab at values of the squared four-momentum transfer, Q^2, between 0.1 and 0.6 (GeV/c)^2. A_(T') is sensitive to the neutron magnetic form factor, G_M^n . Values of G_M^n at Q^2 = 0.1 and 0.2 (GeV/c)^2, extracted using Faddeev calculations, were reported previously. Here, we report the extraction of G_M^n for the remaining Q^2 values in the range from 0.3 to 0.6 (GeV/c)^2 using a plane-wave impulse approximation calculation. The results are in good agreement with recent precision data from experiments using a deuterium target.

Abstract

The design of an imaging system able to detect both high-energy /spl gamma/-rays and optical wavelength photons is underway at the Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging. This system will be capable of non-invasively and repeatedly imaging small animal models in-vivo for the presence of positron emission tomography (PET) and optical signals. The detector will consist of modules of multichannel photomultiplier tubes (MC-PMT) coupled to arrays of LSO or GSO crystals. The MC-PMT will detect both the photons produced due to bioluminescence and the photons generated in the interaction of /spl gamma/-rays within the crystals. The long wavelength photons produced through bioluminescence in the animal are only slightly attenuated by these crystals and are detected directly at the photocathode of the MC-PMT. The resulting signal will consist of small (5-10 mV) short (15 ns) pulses. In contrast, the annihilation (511 keV) /spl gamma/-rays that interact in the crystal will produce a large burst of photons for which the PMT output can be as large as 0.5-1 V and of >200 ns duration. The processing in a single circuit of pulses with such different characteristics requires significant alteration of the standard pulse processing circuitry used in PET scanners. In this paper we discuss the requirements of such a circuit and show the results of implementation of one design using a single channel PMT. The detector concept and OPET system are described in M7-9.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a complete set of polarization-transfer observables measured at 197 MeV in the quasifree region for $(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p},\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{n})$ reactions on ${}^{2}\mathrm{H}$ and ${}^{3,4}\mathrm{He}$ targets. Data were obtained at laboratory scattering angles of $13\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{},$ $24\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{},$ $37\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{},$ and $48\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ for the ${}^{2}\mathrm{H}$ target and at $13\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ and $37\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ for the ${}^{3,4}\mathrm{He}$ targets. The data span an energy-loss range up to 150 MeV, with a corresponding momentum-transfer range $q=0.75--2.4 {\mathrm{fm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}.$ The polarization-transfer observables are used to calculate the center-of-mass polarization observables. The empirical results for the ${}^{2}\mathrm{H}$ target are compared to the observables obtained from the free nucleon-nucleon database and with Faddeev-type calculations. No discernible differences are observed in either the values of polarization-transfer observables or in the center-of-mass polarization observables among the three nuclei studied in this paper.

Abstract

The first $(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{e}{,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p})$ polarization transfer measurements on a nucleus heavier than deuterium have been carried out at Jefferson Laboratory. Transverse and longitudinal components of the polarization of protons ejected in the reaction ${}^{16}\mathrm{O}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{e}{,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p})$ were measured in quasielastic perpendicular kinematics at a ${Q}^{2}$ of 0.8 $(\mathrm{GeV}{/c)}^{2}.$ The data are in good agreement with state of the art calculations.
