Abstract :
We have developed a concept for a micro-PET detector that takes advantage of the improved performances achieved by measuring light and charge in Liquid Xenon. One sector was built and testing is in progress. The good performance in terms of efficiency and image quality of a LXe PET compared to a crystal based system has been shown in simulations.
