Performance of a Chamber for Studying the Liquid Xenon Response to Nuclear Recoils
V. Chepel, F. Neves, V. Solovov +8
The design and performance of a 1.2 liter liquid xenon chamber equipped with 7 two-inch photomultiplier tubes, with the purpose of studying the scintillation response of xenon to g…
Development of liquid xenon detectors for medical imaging
V. Chepel, M. I. Lopes, V. Solovov +2
In the present paper, we report on our developments of liquid xenon detectors for medical imaging, positron emission tomography and single photon imaging, in particular. The result…
Low Temperature Performance of a Large Area Avalanche Photodiode
V. N. Solovov, F. Neves, V. Chepel +3
A Large Area Avalanche Photodiode (LAAPD) was studied, aiming to access its performance as light detector at low temperatures, down to -80 C. The excess noise factor, F, was measur…
Detection of Scintillation Light of Liquid Xenon with a LAAPD
V. N. Solovov, A. Hitachi, V. Chepel +3
First observation of liquid xenon scintillation due to alpha-particles and gamma-rays with a large area avalanche photodiode immersed in the liquid is reported. An energy resolutio…
High Resolution RPC's for Large TOF Systems
P. Fonte, R. Ferreira Marques, J. Pinhao +2
Here we report on a particular type of RPC that presents up to 99% efficiency for minimum ionizing particles and a very sharp time resolution, below 50 ps sigma in the most optimiz…
