Abstract
The results of an experimental determination of the pulse-height disto rtion in soft x-ray spectra in gaseous xenon detectors are presented. The study confirms previous Monte Carlo simulation results and emphasi zes the importance of the electric field in the drift region in reduci ng spectral degradation while the effect of a strong magnetic field in the same region is shown to be neglegible.
