Xenon
Xenon (Xe) is a colorless, odorless, nonflammable,
inert gas.
Applications
Incandescent lighting, lasers, cerebral blood flow measurements,
high energy particle physics research, ion propulsion
engine (electric engine) propellant. Xenon makes it
possible to obtain better x-rays with reduced amounts
of radiation and, when mixed with oxygen, is used to
enhance contrast in CT imaging and to determine blood
flow. Used in the manufacturing of high intensity light
sources which operate in the ultraviolet range.
