ArXi:2605.27937v1 Announce Type: cross Scintillation detectors with excellent timing resolution enable precise localization of radiation sources in positron emission tomography, leading to substantial improvements in diagnostic capability for diseases such as cancer and dementia. At the extreme timing precision required for such applications at the picosecond scale, detector performance is governed by the microscopic dynamics of scintillation photons generated within the detector and their subsequent detection processes.
