  • Abstract
    The serviceability of a pulse ionization chamber filled with liquid deuteromethane (LCD4) is confirmed experimentally. Deuteromethane with a level of electronegative impurities of 3 × 10−9 equiv. O2 has been obtained using Ni/SiO2 adsorbent. It is shown that for electric fields up to 3kV/cm, the electronic properties of LCD4 are close to those of LCH4. The ionization chamber shows an energy resolution of 14%(FWHM) when detecting 1.2 MeV γ-rays.
