Abstract

J-PET is a photon detector built of plastic scintillators, which already has been commissioned for CPT studies in the decays of positronium. In the first experiment, J-PET has achieved a sensitivity to CPT violation at a level of 10^{-4}, and now it aims to reach a level of 10^{-5}. This will be done by enhancing the three-photon registration efficiency for ortho-positronium decays using a new layer of densely packed plastic scintillators termed Modular J-PET. We present the simulation studies performed for different experimental detection setups to be used for the next CPT test with the Modular J-PET detector.
