Status and design of two-phase liquid-Xenon compton-imaging detector

Abstract: PIXeY (Particle Identification in Xenon at Yale) is an R&D detector that uses xenon in gas-phase, liquid-phase, or two phase mode. It features drift and proportional electric field regions set with 92%-transparent wire grids, highly reflective Teflon walls, and 14 high-quantum-efficiency PMTs (Hamamatsu R8778) to record both initial scintillation light (SI) andproportional scintillation light (S2) from the drifting of charge in the proportional region. It promises energy resolution and gamma/neutron discrimina… Show more

“…These detectors are also employed to detect coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering from nuclear reactors, spallation sources, and supernova neutrinos [6][7][8][9][10]. Two-phase xenon TPCs are currently being explored for use in neutrinoless double beta decay, neutrino magnetic moment searches [11,12], and Compton imaging of gamma rays [13].…”

“…Two-phase xenon detectors have become a leading detector technology in searches for WIMP (weakly interacting massive particle) dark matter [1][2][3], searches for axions and axion-like particles [4,5], and detection of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering from nuclear reactor, spallation source, and supernova neutrinos [6][7][8][9]. They have other potential applications in radiation/particle detection such as searches for neutrinoless double beta decay [10,11] and Compton imaging of gamma-rays [12]. The understanding of charge and light production in liquid xenon has developed substantially over the past few decades, and the mechanisms which generate detectable signals from energy deposition in the liquid xenon are reviewed in [13,14].…”
