Scientific paper

Initial measurements of the charge and light yield in pure xenon gas at 20 bar are discussed. Preliminary findings are that the yields are not greatly different from those reported in liquid xenon. Also, they are similar to yields observed in 50 bar Ar(Xe) and 100 bar Ne(Xe) in the same apparatus. In addition, good nuclear recoil discrimination is observed at low recoil energies relevant to WIMP interactions. The findings suggest that a room-temperature, high pressure gas approach may be an attractive alternative to liquid phase detectors for future large scale WIMP measurement experiments.
