A time driven readout scheme for PET and CT using APDs and SiPMs
/ Powolny, F (CERN) ; Auffray, E (CERN) ; Brunner, S (CERN) ; Condorelli, G (STMicroelectronics, Catania) ; Despeisse, M (CERN) ; Fallica, G (STMicroelectronics, Catania) ; Hillemanns, H (CERN) ; Jarron, P (CERN) ; Kluge, A (CERN) ; Lecoq, P (CERN) et al.
In this paper we present the time-driven readout scheme for photodetectors in the domain of PET/CT applications. In our first test period as partner of the BioCare Consortium supported by the European Commission's FP6 framework program, we put emphasis on a scheme to be used with a LSO-APD detector suitable for both CT and PET, using exclusively electronics circuits developed for the LHC program at CERN.

A high-throughput, multi-channel photon-counting detector with picosecond timing
/ Lapington, J S (Leicester U.) ; Fraser, G W (Leicester U.) ; Miller, G M (Leicester U.) ; Ashton, T J R (Leicester U.) ; Jarron, P (CERN) ; Despeisse, M (CERN) ; Powolny, F (CERN) ; Howorth, J (Photek Ltd., St. Leonards-on-Sea, UK) ; Milnes, J (Photek Ltd., St. Leonards-on-Sea, UK)
High-throughput photon counting with high time resolution is a niche application area where vacuum tubes can still outperform solid-state devices. Applications in the life sciences utilizing time-resolved spectroscopies, particularly in the growing field of proteomics, will benefit greatly from performance enhancements in event timing and detector throughput.

Low-Power Amplifier-Discriminators for High Time Resolution Detection
/ Despeisse, M (CERN) ; Jarron, P (CERN) ; Anghinolfi, F (CERN) ; Tiuraniemi, S (CERN) ; Osmic, F (CERN) ; Riedler, P (CERN) ; Kluge, A (CERN) ; Ceccucci, A (CERN)
Low-power amplifier-discriminators based on a so-called NINO architecture have been developed with high time resolution for the readout of radiation detectors. Two different circuits were integrated in the NINO13 chip, processed in IBM 130 nm CMOS technology. [...]

A multi-channel high time resolution detector for high content imaging
/ Lapington, J S (Leicester U.) ; Fraser, G W (Leicester U.) ; Miller, G M (Leicester U.) ; Ashton, T J R (Leicester U.) ; Jarron, P (CERN) ; Despeisse, M (CERN) ; Powolny, F (CERN) ; Howorth, J (Instrument Tech., St. Leonard) ; Milnes, J (Instrument Tech., St. Leonard)
Medical imaging has long benefited from advances in photon counting detectors arising from space and particle physics. We describe a microchannel plate-based detector system for high content (multi-parametric) analysis, specifically designed to provide a step change in performance and throughput for measurements in imaged live cells and tissue for the ‘omics’.

Low noise, low power front end electronics for pixelized TFA sensors
/ Poltorak, K (CERN) ; Ballif, C (EPFL, Lausanne) ; Dabrowski, W (AGH-UST, Cracow) ; Despeisse, M (EPFL, Lausanne) ; Jarron, P (CERN) ; Kaplon, J (CERN) ; Wyrschb, N (EPFL, Lausanne)
Thin Film on ASIC (TFA) technology combines advantages of two commonly used pixel imaging detectors, namely, Monolithic Active Pixels (MAPs) and Hybrid Pixel detectors. Thanks to direct deposition of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a- Si:H) sensor lm on top of the readout ASIC, TFA shows the similarity to MAP imagers, allowing, however, more sophisticated front–end circuitry to extract the signals, like in case of Hybrid Pixel technology. [...]

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon sensors based on thin film on ASIC technology
/ Despeisse, M (CERN) ; Moraes, D ; Anelli, G ; Jarron, P ; Kaplon, J ; Rusack, R ; Saramad, S ; Wyrsch, N
The performance and limitations of a novel detector technology based on the deposition of a thin-film sensor on top of processed integrated circuits have been studied. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films have been deposited on top of CMOS circuits developed for these studies and the resulting "thin-film on ASIC" (TFA) detectors are presented. [...]
