Abstract
It is recognized by various groups in the world that liquid xenon (LXe ) is an interesting medium for the detection of gamma-rays. In spite o f all the experimental and theoretical effort expanded during recent y ears, the processes that take place in this medium are not yet fully u nderstood. We have obtained some preliminary results using an ionizati on chamber with a Frisch grid. This chamber could be filled with LXe a nd with solid xenon (SXe). We also investigated dual phase (GXe/SXe) s ystems. Our study will be continued with a newly developed detection c ell described in this article.
