The design of the first ClearPET™ Demonstrator based on the use of the multi-anode photomultiplier tube (Hamamatsu R7600-M64) and a LSO/LuYAP phoswich matrix. The two crystal layers of 8*8 crystals (2*2*10 mm3) are stacked on each other and mounted without light guide as one to one on the PMT. A unit of four PMTs arranged in-line represents one of 20 sectors of the ring design. The opening diameter of the crystal ring is 137 mm, the axial detector length is 110 mm. The PMT pulses are digitized by free-running ADCs and digital data processing determines the gamma energy, the phoswich layer and even the pulse arrival time.

High sensitivity and high spatial resolution is foreseen for the ClearPET™ camera by using a phoswich arrangement combining mixed lutetium yttrium aluminum perovskite (LuYAP:Ce) and lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) scintillating crystals. Design optimizations for the first photomultiplier tube (PMT) based ClearPET camera are done with a Monte-Carlo simulation package implemented on GEANT3 (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland). A dual-head prototype has been built to test the frontend electronics and was used to validate the implementation of the GEANT3 simulation tool. Multiple simulations were performed following the experimental protocols to measure the intrinsic resolution and the sensitivity profile in axial and radial direction. Including a mean energy resolution of about 27.0\% the simulated intrinsic resolution is about (1.41±0.11)mm compared to the measured of (1.48±0.06)mm. The simulated sensitivity profiles show a mean square deviation of 12.6\% in axial direction and 3.6\% in radial direction. Satisfactorily these results are representative for all designs and confirm the scanner geometry.}, language = {en} } @article{KhodaverdiChaziioannouWeberetal.2004, author = {Khodaverdi, M. and Chaziioannou, A.

The properties of different microCT systems have been determined by simulations based on GEANT4. We demonstrate the influence of the detector material and the X-ray spectrum on the obtained contrast. Four different detector materials (selenium, cadmium zinc telluride, cesium iodide and gadolinium oxysulfide) and two X-ray spectra (a molybdenum and a tungsten source) have been considered. The spectra have also been modified by aluminum filters of varying thickness. The contrast between different tissue types (water, air, brain, bone and fat) has been simulated by using a suitable phantom. The results indicate the possibility to improve the image contrast in microCT by an optimized combination of the X-ray source and detector material.}, language = {en} } @misc{Gebhardt2005, author = {Gebhardt, Andreas}, title = {Short course on rapid prototyping}, year = {2005}, abstract = {Rapid Prototyping Technology: Types of models, rapid prototyping processes, prototyper Fundamentals of rapid prototyping Industrial rapid prototyping technology: Stereolithography, (Selective) laser sintering ((S)LS), Layer laminate manufacturing (LLM), Fused layer modeling (FLM), Three dimensional printing (3DP)}, language = {en} } @book{BenknerDavid2005, author = {Benkner, Thorsten and David, Klaus}, title = {Digital Mobile Radio Systems (Nicht erschienen?)}, publisher = {Wiley}, isbn = {0-471-97591-5}, pages = {500}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BruessermannDeuster2005, author = {Br{\"u}ssermann, Klaus and Deuster, M.}, title = {Temperature measurement to optimise the burning process}, year = {2005}, abstract = {One of the most important parameters in a burning chamber - in power stations, in waste to energy plants - is the temperature.
