Description

The Jagiellonian Positron Emission Tomograph (J-PET) is the first PET scanner based on plastic scintillators.

It is designed to measure momentum vectors and the polarisation of photons originating from the decays of positronium.

In combination with the newly invented positronium imaging method, J-PET enables the study of discrete symmetries
in positronium without the use of magnetic fields. We will present the latest results of P, T, CP, and CPT symmetry studies (Nature Communication 12, 5658 (2021)) as well as explain the method of positronium imaging (Science Advances 7, eabh4394 (2021)).
