DESCRIPTION:A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner is a device widel
 y used in \nhospitals to obtain 3D images of the metabolic activity of th
 e body. It \nis used for cancer detection\, as well as for heart and brai
 n diseases\, \nand other physiological processes.\n\nPETALO is a project 
 that consists of a PET system based on liquid xenon \n(LXe) instead of cr
 ystals as the scintillator material. LXe is a very \ngood candidate for u
 se in PET due to its scintillation properties: high \nlight yield and fas
 t decay time. PETALO uses SiPMs for readout and fast \nelectronics from P
 ETsys to be applied in TOF-PET technology.\n\nIn this talk\, I will first 
 introduce the principles of a PET scanner\, \nand then I will focus on ex
 plaining how our first prototype PETit\, \ndeveloped following the PETALO
  concept\, works. Finally\, I will present \nthe results on energy and ti
 me resolution obtained with this prototype\, \nas well as the problems we
  faced in achieving them.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/8544/
