    For the first time, a small dual-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber was equipped with a top array of silicon photomultipliers for light and charge readout. Here we describe the instrument in detail, as well as the data processing and the event position reconstruction algorithms. We obtain a spatial resolution of Formula omitted in the horizontal plane. To characterise the detector performance, we show calibration data with internal Formula omitted and Formula omitted sources, and we detail the production of the latter as well as its introduction into the system. We finally compare the observed light and charge yields down to electronic recoil energies of Formula omitted to predictions based on NEST v2.0.
