Scintillation Signal in XEMIS2, a Liquid Xenon Compton Camera with 3γ Imaging Technique

Résumé

The XEMIS project (XEnon Medical Imaging System), which makes use of 3γ imaging technique and liquid xenon Compton camera, aims to make a precise 3D localization of a specific radioactive emitter and to reduce drastically (100 times less) the injected activity to the patient in cancer diagnosis. The 3γ imaging is characterized by the simultaneous detection of 3 γ-rays emitted by$^{44}$Sc which is a (β+, γ) emitter. The second prototype XEMIS2 is a liquid xenon cylindrical camera for small animal imaging. The active volume of XEMIS2 is surrounded by a set of VUV-sensitive Hamamatsu photomultipliers, for the scintillation signals detection. A pulse-shaping amplifier was tested in XEMIS1 for the readout of the scintillation signal of the PMT. The typical output pulse shows a relatively good performance of the pulse-shaping amplifier providing a possible solution for XEMIS2 scintillation DAQ. Meanwhile, the pulse-shaping amplifier and the constant fraction discriminator (CFD) have lay the foundation of the preliminary design of XEMIS2 scintillation signal detection chain.
