Intrinsic backgrounds from Rn and Kr in the XENON100 experiment
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018 In this paper, we describe the XENON100 data analyses used to assess the target-intrinsic background sources radon ( ), thoron ( ) and krypton ( ). We detail the event selections of high-energy alpha particles and decay-specific delayed coincidences.
