Liquid krypton has been used widely for electromagnetic calorimeters for charged particle and gamma ray detection above 100 MeV. Despite the significant price advantage of krypton over xenon, little work has been done with liquid krypton detectors for energies in the range 200 keV-12 MeV that is use...
