Title: Pulse-height-spectrum distortion in xenon gaseous detectors for soft x rays: Experimental results

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1109/23.467904· OSTI ID:129194

The results of an experimental determination of the pulse-height distortion in soft x-ray spectra in gaseous xenon detectors are presented. The study confirms previous Monte Carlo simulation results and emphasizes the importance of the electric field in the drift region in reducing spectral degradation while the effect of a strong magnetic field in the same region is shown to be negligible.
