Abstract
Detectors based on liquid or gas xenon have been used and are in use for a number of applications, in particular for the detection of gamma rays.Xenon is a well-suited medium for gamma spectroscopy thanks to itshigh atomic number and, consequently, large cross-section forphoto-electric absorption. This paper presents experimental studiesof high pressure xenon as a scintillator, with the aim of developing agamma ray detector for the detection of Special Nuclear Materials(SNM). The first goal was to study the dependence of the light yieldand of the energy resolution on the thermodynamic conditions. Wepresent preliminary results from an optimised version of thedetector.
