摘要：

The energy response of a xenon gas proportional scintillation counter was determined between 16 and 60 keV using the fluorescent X-rays from selected elements. A discontinuity in linearity of 177 +/- 9 eV was determined at the K-absorption edge in xenon at 34.6 keV. The measured discontinuity agrees with a recently-reported independent result obtained with a standard xenon proportional counter and a synchrotron radiation source.
