AbstractTo describe the radon detection process of a new radon dosemeter, which is based on the simultaneous utilisation of activated charcoal and CR-39 etched track detector, a simple model was formulated. The dependence of the response of the dosemeter on exposure time, irradiation time of the detector foil, thickness of the charcoal layer, diffusion and the adsorption coefficients of radon in charcoal was calculated. The theoretical model was verified by experiments. It was found that for a short (one hour) exposure to a radon atmosphere the response can be as high as (900 tracks.cm-2.(kBq.m-3)-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
