Scientific paper

The two types of spectrometers currently used to record gamma radiation from space - Ge semiconductor detectors and scintillation detectors with NaI(Tl) and CsI(Tl) crystals - are discussed. It is noted that the desire for increased sensitivity has led to consideration of liquid xenon as the working fluid in a detector. An experimental model built to test the suitability of xenon is described and a schematic diagram of the model is presented. Characteristic amplitude distributions, obtained by calibrating the chamber with sample monoenergetic sources, are shown graphically. The best energy resolution obtained is 1.5%, for a gamma energy of 1.115 MeV. It is noted that a detector using compressed xenon also makes it possible to determine the coordinates of the point of interaction of the quanta.
