Scanner at GSI 1. Principle 2. Experimental position dependent pulse shapes 4. Limitation and improvements in first prototype 1. Tests with LYSO crystal scintillator 2. New Scanning approach 5. Conclusions

22 Limitation in the first scanner prototype
1. Efficiency of fibres??? Most of the Compton electrons leave the active volume of fibres . Due to length of Fibre(8cm) light collection suffers. Much lower count rate contrary to expectation. 1 ct/hr 2. Low count rate problem The true coincidence rate for back segments is about 1 count/hour. BGO 90mm 40ct/hr 10mm

23 Replacement of fibres with LYSO/BGO
Scintillator plate Position sensitive PMT

24 Tests with LYSO crystal scintillator
-> Position resolution of LYSO plate ->Wrapping the upper surface of cyrstal for better light collection

25 Tests with LYSO crystal scintillator POSITION RESOLUTION

27 Tests with LYSO crystal scintillator Position Resolution
surface of LYSO 0.3mm Calculated position of source moved in steps of 1mm Measured position of source reference detector Distortion near the edges of plate. Linear central region is approximately 3cm. An accurate position calibration, allows to determine the spatial resolution (in mm). It has an average value of 2.5 mm.

28 Tests with LYSO crystal scintillator 2
Tests with LYSO crystal scintillator 2. Wrapping material for better light collection TEFLON Signal amplitude is higher with Enhanced Specular Reflector(ESR) film as compared to Teflon by a factor of ~ 1.32 (30% light collection improvement) Higher reflectance increases light collection efficiency. Finally the upper surface of LYSO is covered with combination of Teflon and ESR. Peak pos.= ESR Peak pos.= Amplitude

29 Improvements possible:
Circular and bigger scintillator crystals(LYSO/BGO) Edge effects 32 anode signals of HAMAMATSU R2486 Position accuracy 0.1 mm precision X-Y table Efficient and reliable measurements

30 NEW SCANNING APPROACH Ge-Detector Side scanning detector X-Y detector

31 NEW SCANNING APPROACH Recording the pulse shapes for two positions (a) and (b). Comparing the pulse shapes from two data sets Signal of one set will be identical to signal of other set at the crossing points. Position sensitive Detector Na-22 source 90o a) Na-22 Rotated by 900 b)

32 Conclusions: 1. The next generation of arrays for in-beam  -ray spectroscopy will be based on the concepts of pulse shape analysis (PSA) and - -ray tracking. 2. Using pulse shape analysis , we can get the position of first interaction point within the hit segment of a multisegmented detector. 3. Experiments have been done already to demonstrate the Doppler correction capability of AGATA detector. 4. GSI implemented a first detector scanner based on principles of PET. 5. Clear capability to obtain the scanning information was demonstrated. 6. Low efficiency of fibre detectors resulted in scanning 10 times slower than originally expected.

33 Continued.... 7. For this reason , we plan to replace fibres by crystal scintillators. 8. Test done with LYSO coupled to a position sensitive PMT show a position resolution of ~ 2.5 mm and an efficiency of 10% at 511 keV. 9. Pulse shape comparison procedure is proposed for measuring the HPGe detector pulse shapes as a function of the -ray interaction position inside the detector volume.
