Scintillation efficiency of liquid xenon for nuclear recoils with the energy down to 5 keV
arXiv:physics/0512136 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2006.05.001
Abstract
The scintillation efficiency of liquid xenon for nuclear recoils has been measured to be nearly constant in the recoil energy range from 140 keV down to 5 keV. The average ratio of the efficiency for recoils to that for gamma-rays is found to be 0.19+-0.02.
