摘要：

The results of measurements of scintillation light induced by alpha-particles in high-pressure Xe are presented. The ratio of N-ex/N-i, and the intensity and time characteristics of the luminescence signal have been measured for different densities up to 0.74 g/cm(3). The role and mechanisms of the electron-ion recombination in high-pressure gas have been investigated. The existence of clusters and self-trapped excitons above 0.6 g/cm(3) has been observed and discussed. This work is a part of a development program of high-pressure Xe detectors for low-energy gamma rays. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
