Abstract
A brief discussion is presented of the X-ray absorption process in xen on above its K-edge of 34.6 keV. Experimental measurements from a one- dimensional proportional chamber, operating with a gas mixture of Xe/1 0%CO2, show that position resolution in the region of 100 mum FWHM can be achieved for X-rays with energy just above the K-edge.
