Abstract:Radon interferes with concentration measurements used by atmospheric radioxenon systems. We demonstrate a method to quantify the amount of radon that is present in the detectors, the impact of radon activity on the minimum-detectable-concentrations, and how to determine the needed radon rejection levels. An example calculation shows a radon rejection level of 105 is sufficient to limit impact on the detector sensitivity. We anticipate this method will give analysist a better understanding of radon present in t… Show more
