Radon background in liquid xenon detectors

, 2017
The radioactive daughters isotope of 222Rn are one of the highest risk contaminants in liquid xenon detectors aiming for a small signal rate. The noble gas is permanently emanated from the detector surfaces and mixed with the xenon target. Because of its

Deciphering the Toxicity of Metal Tungstates and Molybdates: Effects on L929 Cell Metabolic Activity, Oxidative Stress, and Genotoxicity

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 2197-2216, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The increasing development and application of metal‐based materials in biomedical and environmental fields raise important concerns regarding their potential cytotoxic and genotoxic effects. Metal tungstates (MxWO4) and molybdates (MxMoO4) offer promising functional properties in health and environmental solutions but require safety validation

Personal Dosimetry Enhancement for Underground Workplaces

Acta Polytechnica, 2005
Personal dosimetry for underground workers mainly concerns measurement of the concentration of radon (and its daughters) and the correct application of the data in dose calculation, using a biokinetic model for lung dosimetry. A conservative approach for

Radonove kćeri u okolišu kao pokazatelji biokemijskih promjena u mozgu bolesnika s Alzheimerovom i Parkinsonovom bolesti i u pušača [PDF]

, 1999
This paper presents an investigation of the retention of environmental radon daughters, 210Po (alpha particle emitting radio-nuclide) and 210Bi (beta particle emitting radio-nuclide), in lipid and protein fractions of the cortical grey and subcortical ...

Acrylic purification and coatings

, 2011
Radon (Rn) and its decay daughters are a well-known source of background in direct WIMP detection experiments, as either a Rn decay daughter or an alpha particle emitted from a thin inner surface layer of a detector could produce a WIMP-like signal ...

Heterotrophic ammonia oxidation by Alcaligenes balances ROS generation and terminal electron transport

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 527-538, October 2025.
Abstract Heterotrophic nitrifiers are bacteria that aerobically oxidize ammonia in the presence of organic carbon sources, which differs from autotrophic nitrifiers that extract energy from ammonia oxidation for cell metabolism and growth. The physiological significance of heterotrophic ammonia oxidation remains unclear, even though this process has ...

Studies on the Reduction of Radon Plate-Out

, 2015
The decay of common radioactive gases, such as radon, produces stable isotopes by a sequence of daughter particles with varied half-lives. These daughter particles are a significant source of gamma, neutron, and alpha particle backgrounds that can mimic ...

A compact ultra-clean system for deploying radioactive sources inside the KamLAND detector

, 2015
We describe a compact, ultra-clean device used to deploy radioactive sources along the vertical axis of the KamLAND liquid-scintillator neutrino detector for purposes of calibration.

Strengthening military families: Evaluating the impact of relationship counseling on UK naval families

Family Court Review, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 619-639, October 2025.
Abstract While it is often assumed that counseling interventions can be helpful in resolving relationship difficulties, there is limited research which provides evidence of this being the case in respect of military families, who are facing additional, unique stressors due to the military lifestyle, which can significantly strain couple relationships ...
