Measurement Error in Exposure Assessment: An Error Model and its Impact on Studies on Lung Cancer and Residential Radon Exposure in Germany [PDF]
, 2002 Case-control studies on lung cancer and residential radon exposure had been conducted in Germany. Relative risk estimates from primary analysis were now subject to accounting for uncertainties in radon exposure and in the most potent confounder smoking.

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.
