Two-phase xenon emission detector with electron multiplier and optical readout by multipixel avalanche Geiger photodiodes

Abstract

A successful operation of a new optical readout system (THGEM + WLS + MGPDs (multichannel array of multipixel avalanche Geiger photodiodes) in a two-phase liquid xenon detector was demonstrated.
