Abstract
We have completed measurements of key scintillation properties of liquid neon. We found the nuclear recoil scintillation efficiency to be 0.26 ± 0.03 for 387 keV nuclear recoils. We also measured the time dependence of scintillation light from electronic and nuclear recoils in liquid neon, finding a decay lifetime of 14.9 ± 0.3 μs for the slower component. Pulse shape discrimination was investigated as a means of identifying event type in liquid neon.
