Researchers have developed a novel deep learning method that allows for the precise measurement of individual photon arrival times in scintillation detectors, a feat previously limited by the collective response of multiple photons. This technique, which operates without modifying the detector hardware and uses unsupervised learning, enables picosecond-level timing resolution crucial for advanced medical imaging like PET scans. The method has been validated through simulations and experiments, demonstrating improved timing resolution and providing insights into photon transport and classification. AI
