Abstract
We have demonstrated that the scintillation light from solid Xe, Kr an d Ar can be recorded by means of a CsI photocathode directly coupled w ith the solid. The signal obtained from the CsI photocathode inside so lid rare gases is 20-100% higher than that previously observed with Cs I photocathodes inside the same liquids. This may open new application s of solid rare gas scintillating detectors with such a readout.
