Presentation

Liquid xenon has several attractive features, which make it suitable for applications to nuclear medicine, such as high scintillation yield and fast scintillation decay time. In this talk, I will review the state of the art of the investigations of liquid xenon in medical imaging and I will describe the PETALO (Positron Emission Tof Apparatus with Liquid xenOn) concept, a novel idea, which...
