Position resolution limits in pure noble gaseous detectors for X-ray energies from 1 to 60 keV

The calculated position resolutions for X-ray photons (1–60 keV) in pure noble gases at atmospheric pressure are presented. In this work we show the influence of the atomic shells and the detector dimensions on the intrinsic position resolution of the used noble gas. The calculated results were obta...
