Use of plastic scintillator with large area avalanche photodiodes

  • 1. PET/Cyclotron Facility, Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI (USA)

Description

The need for scintillation detection in high magnetic fields is forcing a switch from photomultiplier tubes to avalanche photodiodes for collection of scintillation light. In this paper the noise and timing characteristics of plastic scintillator coupled to a large area APD are investigated
