Research Abstract

Scintillation mechanism in helium mixed with xenon were studied. In this study, the time profiles and the luminescence spectra of scintillation in the mixture were measured. Scintillation and ionization yields in He/Xe were measured simultaneously. And, the purpose of this study is to develop a position-sensitive detector on the basis of these experimental results.
