DESCRIPTION:The CRYSTAL CLEAR collaboration\, in short CCC\, is a consorti
 um of 12 academic institutions\, mainly from Europe\, joining efforts in t
 he area of developing instrumentation for nuclear medicine and medical ima
 ging. In the framework of the CCC a high performance small animal PET syst
 em\, called ClearPET\, was developed by using new technologies in electron
 ics and crystals in a phoswich arrangement combining two types of lutetium
 -based scintillator materials: LSO:Ce and LuYAP:Ce. While in recently deve
 loped dedicated small animal PET systems a high spatial resolution of abou
 t 1.5mm was the main research interest\, it has become clear that it is eq
 ually important not to sacrifice the sensitivity of the scanners since the
  specific activity of the radiotracers used may be limited. The gantry all
 ows rotation of the detector modules as well as tilting by 90 degrees to m
 easure non-human primates in an upright sitting position. The opening diam
 eter of the ring is variable between 130mm and 300mm\, the axial detector 
 length is 110mm. First measurements will be presented.\n\nhttps://indico.i
