The XEMIS2 medical imaging device is a liquid Xenon (LXe) time projection chambre operating as a Compton telescope installed at Nantes University Hospital, France. XEMIS2 has started its commissioning in 2025 thanks to the commitment of technical and research teams of Subatech Laboratory (Nantes, France). After an overview of the XEMIS2 installation, this talk will present the first operation...
PETALO (Positron Emission TOF Apparatus with Liquid xenOn) is a project that uses liquid xenon (LXe) as a scintillation medium, silicon photomultipliers as a 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...
Electroluminescence (EL) in liquid xenon is receiving renewed attention as a low-noise, proportional signal amplification mechanism for noble-liquid detectors. Compared to traditional gas-phase EL, liquid-phase EL enables more flexible detector geometries, efficient charge extraction, and alternative optical readout schemes for single-phase noble-liquid time projection chambers.
