In this paper, the attenuation of the emitted light in a thin LYSO (Ce) scintillator crystal has been measured for the purpose of obtaining information about DOI from the ratio of the light output measured at both ends of the crystal. A pair of photomultipliers were attached to the two ends of the crystal for this purpose. An array of wave-length shifters(WLS) attached to the crystal from a side was used in order to find the hit point of the incident gamma rays along the crystal. The attenuation constant μ determined in this measurement is μ=0.79 ± 0.0007/cm. This value is experimentally demonstrated to be appropriate for the DOI estimation using the ratio of the amounts of light. The obtainable DOI resolution, when the crystal is read out using WLS and a new kind of position-sensitive photomultipliers in our next prototype, is estimated., 4, KJ00005048660, P, 研究論文, Paper}, pages = {115--123}, title = {Depth of interaction measured with LYSO (Ce) scintillator in a new method}, volume = {7}, year = {2008} }
