LET dependence of the scintillation efficiency of liquid argon and xenon
- 1. Waseda Univ., Tokyo (Japan). Science and Engineering Research Lab.
Description
The relative scintillation efficiency due to α particles, fission fragments and electrons in liquid argon and xenon have been measured. A reduction of scintillation efficiency due to fission fragments is observed. The ratios of the scintillation efficiencies due to light and heavy fragments to that due to α particles are 0.244 +- 0.005 and 0.232+- 0.005, respectively, for liquid argon, and those for liquid xenon are 0.30 +- 0.01 and 0.31 +- 0.01, respectively. The scintillation efficiencies due to electrons are 1.1 +- 0.2 and 0.81sub(-0.13)sup(+0.07) of those due to α particles for liquid argon and xenon, respectively. (author)
