摘要
The Jagiellonian Positron Emission Tomograph (J-PET) is the first plastic scintillator-based tomographic device used to test discrete symmetries in the charged leptonic sector. One of such tests is for the CPT symmetry, under the combined transformation of charge, parity, and time reversal in the decays of positronium atoms. J-PET performed its first measurement for the CPT symmetry test by searching for non-vanishing CPT-violating angular correlations between the spin and orientation of the decay plane of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) atoms, which is the triplet state of positronium. The sensitivity of testing CPT symmetry with the J-PET detector reaches the precision level of 10(-4). Here, we will discuss the prospects of improving the sensitivity of this test beyond the level of 10(-4) by enhancing the photon registration efficiency using a new layer of densely packed plastic scintillators and a spherical annihilation chamber as a positronium production medium.
