PETALO (Positron Emission TOF Apparatus with Liquid xenOn) is a project that uses liquid xenon (LXe) together with a SiPM-based readout and fast electronics to provide a significant improvement in PET-TOF technology. Liquid xenon allows one to build a continuous detector with a high stopping power for 511-keV gammas. In addition, SiPMs enable a fast and accurate measurement of the energy with...
The 3DΠ project is an application in medical physics of the ongoing R&D from the DarkSide collaboration, which is aimed at the direct detection of dark matter particles via Liquid Argon (LAr) targets. The collaboration has demonstrated the power of LAr detector technology and has made significant strides in low-radioactivity argon procurement and cryogenic photosensor development and...
