arXiv:physics/0307044 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2003.08.117

Abstract

The attenuation length and refractive index of liquid xenon for intrinsic scintillation light (178nm) have been measured in a single experiment. The value obtained for attenuation length is 364 +- 18 mm. The refractive index is found to be 1.69 +- 0.02. Both values were measured at a temperature of 170 +- 1 K.
