    Abstract: A pixellated scintillator readout arrangement is presented, the arrangement comprising a plurality of scintillator pixels arranged in a scintillator array, and a plurality of photodetectors arranged to receive light from, or address, the scintillator pixels. The photodetectors may be arranged on both a first side and a second side of the scintillator array. Each photodetector may be arranged to leave a gap adjacent to the scintillator pixel which is addressed by that photodetector. Non-photosensitive elements such as tracking and bondpads may be arranged in at least some of the gaps. Electronic components such as electronic amplifiers may be arranged in at least some of the gaps. The photodetectors may be arranged in linear arrays addressing alternate lines of scintillator pixels on either side of the scintillator array. Each photodetector may be arranged to address a single pixel (as illustrated) or more than one pixel (not shown).

    Abstract: Silicon photomultiplier circuitry is provided that comprises at least one silicon photomultiplier pixel, each pixel comprising a plurality of silicon photomultiplier microcells. The silicon photomultiplier circuitry comprises control circuitry adapted to maintain a substantially constant voltage on a connection node between microcells of the pixel. The control circuitry is adapted to minimise the onset and recovery time of an output signal by maintaining a substantially constant voltage on the connection node.
