Abstract

The Rayleigh scattering length has been calculated for rare-gas liquids in the ultraviolet for the frequencies at which they luminesce. The calculations are based on the measured dielectric constants in the UV in the gas phase, in some cases extrapolated to the wavelength of luminescence. The scattering length may place constraints on the design of some large-scale detectors, using UV luminescence, being proposed to observe solar neutrinos and dark matter. Rayleigh scattering in mixtures of rare-gas liquids is also discussed.
