Research Abstract |
(1) Construction of a solid xenon fabrication cryostat with an evacuation system equipped with two gas purifiers to get highly purified gaseous xenon. (2) Establishment of methods to solidify gaseous xenon into clear solid xenon through liquid state and without liquid state of xenon in order to observe basic properties to radiation. (3) Observation of scintillation light of solid xenon among several basic radiation properties of solid xenon.
