The NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) collaboration seeks to discover the neutrinoless double beta decay (ββ0ν) of Xe-136 using a high-pressure gas time projection chamber with electroluminesence gain and optical read-out. A first medium-scale prototype with 5-kg of xenon, NEXT-White, operated at the Laboratorio Subterraneo de Canfranc (LSC) from 2016 to 2021. This prototype has...
The NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) project is an international collaboration aimed at finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay using gaseous xenon. The current phase of the project involves the construction and operation of NEXT-100, which is designed to hold 100 kg of xenon at 15 bar and is expected to start commissioning in the fourth quarter of 2023. NEXT-HD will be a...
I will provide an overview of the most famous experimental developments proposed so far with prototypes comprising liquid xenon in order to supplant the solid cameras used today in functional medical PET gamma-rays imaging. A parenthesis also addresses the operating principle of Compton telescopes will be provided in order to motivate their future use in the context of XEMIS (Xenon Medical...
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...
The 3DΠ project, developed in collaboration with DarkSide, introduces a novel Total-Body (TB), Time Of Flight (TOF), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner for medical imaging. This project builds upon the advancements made by the DarkSide collaboration in Liquid Argon(LAr) detector technology, low-radioactivity argon procurement, and cryogenic photosensor development.
The 3DΠ scanner...
