Project description: This project prepares Astrocent’s cryogenic infrastructure to enable precise xenon doping of liquid argon and launch measurements of scintillation light yield and timing in LAr+Xe mixtures using cryogenic SiPMs. The upgrade will expand the cryogenic system and integrate mass-flow control, valves, connectors, and vacuum/pressure sensors to ensure stable, reproducible doping. These studies will support the 3DPi PET system and the X-ArT collaboration, and will equip Astrocent’s dual-phase LAr TPC for key R&D relevant to medical imaging and dark-matter detector development—strengthening this capability locally in Poland.
