Low-Background Experiments with High Pressure Gas Scintillation Proportional Detector

Abstract

A scintillation proportional counter with wavelength shifting fiber readout filled with Xe or Kr under a pressure of up to 20 atm is proposed for the low-background experiments on search for dark matter of the Universe and 2K-decay of 78 Kr.
