I don't know the answer to your question, but calling something "strange xenon" is like saying "snow is white" or "oranges are orange", since the Greek word "xenos" means stranger.

What is Isotopically Strange Xenon?
"Isotopically strange xenon (ISX) is strongly enriched in the p- and r-isotopes relative to solar and terrestrial xenon..."
So it's an isotope. I dunno what p- and r- refer to. Chemist-freak talk.
