The XMASS detector is a large single phase liquid Xenon scintillator.After its feasibility had been studied using a 100 kg size prototype detector, an 800 kg size detector is being built for dark matter search with the sensitivity of $10^{-45} {\rm cm}^2$

The imprint of thermally induced devolatilization phenomena on radon signal. Implications for the geochemical survey in volcanic areas [PDF]
Thermal gradients due to magma dynamics in active volcanic areas may affect the emanating power of the substrate and the background level of radon signal.

Dynamic storage in snow‐dominated mountain systems includes snowpacks, plant accessible water (PAW), groundwater and surface. We summarise recent advances in measuring and modelling these dynamic stores. Our review highlights spatial heterogeneity and time evolution of capacity and filling/depletion of these stores and discusses implications for ...

Using 222Rn to Determine Groundwater Velocities in a Braidplain Aquifer
This study assesses bank infiltration from a braided river. We find a small change in infiltration velocity for high versus low river flow periods, and a spatial variation of groundwater velocities linked to paleochannels. Consideration of more realistic groundwater flow geometries demonstrates that groundwater residence times based on conventional ...

Pilot study of 222Rn and 226Ra activity concentrations in groundwaters of Roztocze region, Poland
Authors selected 5 intakes of groundwaters outflowing from carbonate rocks in Roztocze region in Poland and measured activity concentrations of 222Rn and 222Ra. The average values of 222Rn and 226Ra activity concentrations were: 5.3 (min. 2.0, max.

Artificial Neural Network Optimization to Estimate Radon in Soil
ABSTRACT Modeling and estimating radon concentration are of crucial interest to support health protection campaigns. In the literature, many studies concentrated on indoor radon, while few of them investigated the outdoor radon spatial distribution and the factors that influence its formation.

ABSTRACT The evolution of lakes in western Mongolia and their responses to climate changes and glacial meltwater input remain poorly understood. This study evaluates the reliability of multigrain and single‐grain K‐feldspar post‐infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) (pIRIR) dating applied to palaeoshoreline sediments at Khyargas Nuur ...

Drivers of dissolved organic matter processing in subterranean estuaries
Abstract Subterranean estuaries (i.e., seawater‐fresh groundwater mixing zones at coastal aquifers) are highly reactive boundaries between continental groundwater and coastal surface seawater. Because particulate organic matter is retained in shallow sediments, internal microbial transformations rely on dissolved organic matter (DOM) supply and ...

Abstract The Eastern Alps have been influenced by post‐collisional indentation tectonics since the Miocene. Currently, Adria‐Europe convergence, albeit slow, is accommodated and distributed across several faults. The seismogenic potential of some of these faults is unclear. We applied optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and electron spin resonance (
