Abstract
The wall-less proportional counter filled with propane with a small admixture of xenon was used as a spectrometer of electrons emitted by xenon atoms when photoelectrically excited by americium-241γ-rays and erbiumKα rays. TheK-shell fluorescence yield of xenon as extracted from spectra ammounts toω k=0.889(1±0.01).
