Abstract
The authors assess the performance and energy resolution of a liquid xenon scintillator for use in a gamma spectrometer for the measurement of low and ultralow activities down to a level of approximately 1 decay per day and compare its characteristics against currently used sodium iodide scintillators. Their choice of liquid xenon stems from the fact that its atomic number is close to that of sodium iodide and that it therefore possesses virtually the same efficiency and energy dependence. Its advantage over the solid scintillator lies in the deep purification technology available for inert gases and the subsequently higher purity and lower background that can be achieved.
