Liquid xenon detectors for particle physics and astrophysics

Abstract: This article reviews the progress made over the last 20 years in the development and applications of liquid xenon detectors in particle physics, astrophysics and medical imaging experiments. We begin with a summary of the fundamental properties of liquid xenon as radiation detection medium, in light of the most current theoretical and experimental information. After a brief introduction of the different type of liquid xenon detectors, we continue with a review of past, current and future experiments using liqu… Show more

“…This data set has also been analyzed for different purposes in Refs. [24,[26][27][28][29]. The detector was filled with a mixture of natural xenon and xenon depleted in 136 Xe and 124 Xe, leading to a 124 Xe abundance of η = (8.40 ± 0.07) × 10 −4 .…”

“…The scintillation signal is also affected by the scintillation emission spectrum and time response. Because most xenon-based detectors make use of xenon in its liquid phase, the detection properties of liquid xenon [12] are generally better understood than the ones for xenon gas [13]. A brief summary of xenon gas detection properties follows.…”

“…The interaction cross section of dark matter particles with normal baryonic matter is assumed to be extremely small. However, it is expected to be non-zero, and therefore the direct experimental detection of dark matter parti- * Electronic address: harko@hkucc.hku.hk † Electronic address: gabriela.mocanu@ubbcluj.ro cles may be possible by some existing or future detectors [4]. Superheavy particles, with mass ≥ 10 10 GeV, have also been proposed as dark matter candidates.…”
