Availability of compact high-gain, low-noise Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) prompts us to examine readout sensors on the entrance surface (SES) as compared to the conventional single-ended readout with sensors on the opposing surface. We measured detector response statistics versus 3D position for these configurations using an 8×8 SiPM array on a 15-mm-thick by 32-mm-wide LYSO block. We calibrate an independently distributed multivariate-normal likelihood model and use it to generate maximum-likelihood estimates of 3D interaction position. Spatial resolution improved 14% and timing resolution improved 10% for the SES device. Bias was unaffected. Photodetection efficiency of our prototype SiPM may have limited further improvement in positioning and timing performance. In future work, we will look to utilize SiPM arrays with enhanced photodetection efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- * This study presents a new sense amplifier using side-contacted field-effect diodes (S-FED) which significantly lowers power use and noise sensitivity compared to traditional CMOS designs, achieving substantially lower power-delay products.
- * The proposed S-FED-based sense amplifier shows impressive performance with a minor output voltage deviation and better noise margins, setting the stage for developing a novel integrate-and-fire neuron circuit that boosts firing frequency and spiking voltage, thereby promising advancements in neuromorphic architectures.

An architecture with time-delayed dual-channel modulation of a pseudo-random binary sequence in combination with differential detection enables the generation of a rate-doubled bipolar random sequence, which largely increases the bandwidth of the CS system. In addition, the bipolarity of the random sequence ensures a zero-mean measurement matrix, which helps improve the signal recovery performance.
