We have explored methods for optimizing the timing resolution of an LSO-based detector module for a single-ring, “demonstration” time-of-flight PET camera. By maximizing the area that couples the scintillator to the PMT and minimizing the average

An isotopic source of high-energy gamma rays has been constructed and tested. The source uses either a long-lived americium–beryllium neutron source or 252Cf to produce fast neutrons, which are moderated in paraffin and then absorbed in metallic ni
