heal.abstract	We have developed a Monte Carlo simulation model to study the performance of a block detector consisting of 25 YAP:Ce match-like crystals (2×2×30 mm3 each) coupled to a position sensitive photomultiplier Hamamatsu R2486-06 and used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The model included the energy deposition via photoelectric and Compton interactions, the generation and propagation of scintillation photons, the emission	en
