Detection of primary and field-enhanced scintillation in xenon with a CsI-coated GEM detector

We report the observation of radiation-induced primary and field- enhanced gas scintillation in xenon with a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector, having an internal CsI photocathode. The measurement of the time lag between prompt and delayed pulses can be exploited to reduce the parallax error in...

Sumario:We report the observation of radiation-induced primary and field- enhanced gas scintillation in xenon with a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector, having an internal CsI photocathode. The measurement of the time lag between prompt and delayed pulses can be exploited to reduce the parallax error in X-ray detectors having thick conversion volumes.
