Abstract
A procedure for spark-discharge purification of a liquid xenon sample with a mass of 55 kg is described. The average lifetime of ionization electrons before capture by electronegative impurities in liquid xenon increased from ≤ 0.1 μs to ≥ 50 μs for an electric field of 50–500 V/cm as a result of the procedure. The xenon purified with this method is intended for use in the RED-100 detector for observation of the process of coherent elastic neutrino scattering off xenon nuclei.
