Proportional scintillation in liquid xenon has a promising application in thefield of direct dark matter detection, potentially allowing for simpler, moresensitive detectors. However, knowledge of the basic properties of thephenomenon as well as guidelines for its practical use are currently limited.We report here on measurements of proportional scintillation light emitted inliquid xenon around thin wires. The maximum proportional scintillation gain of$287^{+97}_{-75}$ photons per drift electron was obtained using 10 $\mu$mdiameter gold plated tungsten wire. The thresholds for electron multiplicationand proportional scintillation are measured as $725^{+48}_{-139}$ and$412^{+10}_{-133}$ kV/cm, respectively. The threshold for proportionalscintillation is in good agreement with a previously published result, whilethe electron multiplication threshold represents a novel measurement. Acomplete set of parameters for the practical use of the electron multiplicationand proportional scintillation processes in liquid xenon was also obtained forthe first time.
