A detection system of the conventional PET tomograph is set-up to record data from e+ e- annihilation into two photons with energy 511 keV, and it gives information on density distribution a radiopharmaceutical in body object.

We present transverse momentum spectra, rapidity distribution and multiplicity of $ \Lambda$ -hyperons measured with the HADES spectrometer in reaction Ar(1.76AGeV) + KCl . The yield \Xi^{{-}}_{}$ is calculated from our previously reported /( \Sigma^{{0}}_{}$ ) ratio compared to other strange particle multiplicities. Employing a strangeness balance equation multiplicities yet unmeasured \Sigma^{{\pm}}_{}$ can be estimated. Finally statistical hadronization model used fit yields \pi^{-}_{}$ ,...

Employing the Bonn–Gatchina partial wave analysis framework (PWA), we have analyzed HADES data of reaction p(3.5GeV)+p→pK+Λ. This might contain information about kaonic cluster "ppK−" (with quantum numbers JP=0− and total isospin I=1/2) via its decay into pΛ. Due to interference effects in our coherent description data, a hypothetical K‾NN (or, specifically "ppK−") signal need not necessarily show up as pronounced feature (e.g. peak) an invariant mass spectrum like Our PWA includes variety...

A novel approach to tomographic data processing has been developed and evaluated using the Jagiellonian PET (J-PET) scanner as an example. We propose a system in which there is no need for powerful, local facility, capable reconstruct images on fly. Instead we introduce Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) System-on-Chip (SoC) platform connected directly streams coming from scanner, can perform event building, filtering, coincidence search Region-Of-Response (ROR) reconstruction by...
