Performance study of liquid xenon detector for PET

The coincidence time resolution and the intrinsic position resolution along the electron drift direction of a liquid xenon multiwire ionization chamber for PET were measured, being, respectively, 1.5 ns (fwhm) and 0.5 mm (fwhm). Data on the low temperature performance of a photomultiplier tube opera...

Description
Summary:The coincidence time resolution and the intrinsic position resolution along the electron drift direction of a liquid xenon multiwire ionization chamber for PET were measured, being, respectively, 1.5 ns (fwhm) and 0.5 mm (fwhm). Data on the low temperature performance of a photomultiplier tube operating on the VUV are presented.
