摘要：

A double phase (liquid/gas) xenon prototype detector of a 0.3 1 active volume for WIMPs direct search has been constructed and tested. Proportional scintillation signals are observed by a multi-wire anode mounted in gas phase after ionization electrons drifted successfully long distance in liquid xenon. Both direct and proportional scintillation were used to discriminate electron recoil from nuclear recoil. Basic performances of the detector and the rejection efficiency of background gamma rays were demonstrated. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
