abstract = {In the frame of the German Plant Phenotyping Project (DPPN)
we developed a novel PET scanner. In contrary to a clinical
or preclinical PET scanner the detector rings of the Plant
System are oriented in a horizontal plane. The final system
will be equipped with three rings covering a Field of View
(FOV) of 18 cm diameter and 20 cm axial height. One detector
ring is formed by 12 modules. Each module contains four 8×8
pixel digital SiPM devices DPC-3200-22-44 (Philips Digital
Photon Counting) connected to a PCB and four scintillator
matrices with 16×16 individual LYSO scintillators. Crystal
size is 1.85×1.85×10 mm3. The matrices are composed with
both reflective and transparent contact faces between the
crystals in order to optimize crystal identification. A
cooling system keeps the detectors below 5°C and limits the
dark count rate. Data are already preprocessed by the
Cyclone FPGA (Altera) in the module and transmitted from
there at 50MiB/s to the base board. The base board collects
the data from all modules and allows coincidence detection
performed on a Kintex-7 FPGA (Xilinx). Finally the data link
to the computer system for image reconstruction is realized
via an USB 3.0 connection. Due to the fast photodetectors
the system is dedicated to work with rather high activities.
Preliminary measurements showed a coincidence peak of 250 ps
FWHM between two detector elements and an energy resolution
ΔE/E = $12\%.$ This paper will present first results from a
one ring system with a FOV of 18 cm diameter and 6.5 cm
axial height.},
