Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Leonid Kurchaninov (TRIUMF)

Title:     Liquid Xenon Detector for Medical Imaging

Abstract: Liquid xenon is very promising medium for ionizing particles detection. It is very bright and fast scintillator. Ionization yield is significant and electrons drift fast at reasonable electric field. Xenon has high energy resolution which can be improved by weighting ionization and scintillation signals. Because of its short radiation length, liquid xenon detectors are attractive for various fields of experimental physics. They are used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, astronomy, nuclear medicine. In my talk i'll present a status of ongoing R & D project aimed to build a liquid xenon detector for full-scale prototype of micro-PET scanner.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
