Abstract
To realize a long attenuation length of drifting electrons in liquid x enon, a purification system which consists of Oxisorb, molecular sieve s and a Zr-V-Fe alloy getter has been constructed. A dual type gridded ionization chamber is used for the measurement of the attenuation len gth. An attenuation length longer than 2 m is achieved in the purified liquid xenon.
