It is shown that the spectra tail distortion exhibited by Xe filled gaseous detectors for soft X-rays below 2 keV is reduced if Ar-Xe mixtures are used. The peak-to-valley ratio increases by a factor of about 2 or 3 as the Xe concentration is reduced from 100% to 5%. Moreover, the energy resolutions for such mixtures are similar to the ones for pure Xe | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/12892 | ISSN: | 0018-9499 | DOI: | 10.1109/NSSMIC.2008.4774540 | Rights: | openAccess |
