Radiation Chemistry in Nuclear Engineering

Rare gas liquids (RGLs) have excellent properties such as those required for radiation detectors, forinstance,highelectronmobility,lowW-value,highphotonproductionrate,highdensity,high Znumberwithnopermanentradiationdamage,andpracticallynolimitforthesize.Inaddition, ultrahighpuriŸcationisattainableinRGLs.Furthermore,electronandphotonmultiplicationsare possible in liquid xenon (LXe).
