lXe
Liquid xenon (LXe) is the cryogenic liquid form of the noble gas xenon. In scientific literature it is commonly abbreviated as LXe and used as a detection medium in a range of particle- and nuclear-physics experiments. Its combination of high density, high atomic number, and favorable optical and electronic properties makes it well suited for detecting scintillation light and ionization electrons.
Physically, xenon becomes a dense liquid when cooled to about 165 K at standard pressure, with a
Detection and applications. LXe is used extensively in dark matter searches and rare-event experiments because of
Purity and handling. The performance of LXe detectors depends on ultra-clean, impurity-free xenon, as electronegative contaminants
