The BetaCage, an ultra-sensitive screener for surface contamination [PDF]
, 2013 Material screening for identifying low-energy electron emitters and alpha-decaying isotopes is now a prerequisite for rare-event searches (e.g., dark-matter direct detection and neutrinoless double-beta decay) for which surface radiocontamination has ...

Constraining Radon Backgrounds in LZ [PDF]
, 2017 The LZ dark matter detector, like many other rare-event searches, will suffer from backgrounds due to the radioactive decay of radon daughters. In order to achieve its science goals, the concentration of radon within the xenon should not exceed $2\mu$Bq ...

Diffusing alpha-emitters radiation therapy: In vivo measurements of effective diffusion and clearance rates across multiple tumor types. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background Diffusing alpha‐emitters radiation therapy (“Alpha‐DaRT”) is a new modality that uses alpha particles to treat solid tumors. Alpha‐DaRT employs interstitial sources loaded with low activities of 224Ra$^{224}{\rm Ra}$, designed to release a chain of short‐lived alpha‐emitters, which diffuse over a few millimeters around each source ...

The Nylon Scintillator Containment Vessels for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Experiment [PDF]
, 2007 Borexino is a solar neutrino experiment designed to observe the 0.86 MeV Be-7 neutrinos emitted in the pp cycle of the sun. Neutrinos will be detected by their elastic scattering on electrons in 100 tons of liquid scintillator. The neutrino event rate in

Contribution of Radon and Radon Daughters to Respiratory Cancer [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1986 This article reviews studies on the contribution of radon and radon daughters to respiratory cancer and proposes recommendations for further research, particularly a national radon survey. The steady-state outdoor radon concentration averages 200 pCi/m3, and indoor levels are about 4 times higher.
