Primary scintillation PRIMARY SCINTILLATION IN XENON-CsI 22 keV from 109Cd
TIME DIFFERENCE PROMPT- MAIN PULSE LOW DRIFT FIELD: PRIMARY SCINTILLATION Efficiency 2% for 5.9 keV 10% for 22 keV
Secondary scintillation HIGH DRIFT FIELD: SECONDARY SCINTILLATION
TIME DIFFERENCE PROMPT- MAIN PULSE HIGH FIELD: SECONDARY SCINTILLATION 5.9 keV X-rays Efficiency for 5.9 keV 20% at 1.3 kV/cm 66% at 1.9 kV/cm 76% at 2.5 kV/cm
