| contents | Neutrino detectors, particle calorimeters and some dark matter detectors require dense and massive active materials. An extremely fine segmentation is desirable to achieve precise three-dimensional particle tracking. However, such systems introduce significant challenges in construction and demand a large number of readout electronics channels, leading to extremely high costs. In this article, we propose an alternative approach to elementary particle detection that enables ultrafast three-dimensional high-resolution imaging in large volumes of unsegmented scintillator. Enabling technologies are plenoptic systems and time-resolving single-photon avalanche diode array imaging sensors. Together, they enabled us, using a plenoptic camera, to reconstruct the origin of single photons in the scintillator. A case study focused on neutrino detection demonstrates full event reconstruction with a spatial resolution of two hundred micrometres. This work paves the way for a class of particle detectors whose capabilities should be further enhanced through future developments and expanded to Cherenkov light detection, medical imaging and neutron detection. |
