Abstract
The energy spectrum of conversion electrons (976 keV) from 207Bi has been measured by an ionization chamber filled with pure or allene-doped liquid argon. The collected charge in allene-doped liquid argon was increased compared to that in pure liquid argon. The resolution was not improved by doping liquid argon with allene in high electric fields, but it was improved in low fields. This indicates that the recombination process is not a main cause of the observed resolutions. The best resolution was about 30 keV which is the same as the best value obtained so far. This is several times worse than the theoretical ultimate value based on the Fano factor.
