“…Increased 85 Kr concentrations due to reprocessing cycles are supposed to be reduced at LNGS. In fact, simulations suggest variations in central Italy to be only on the order of 0.5 Bq/m 3 [49]. Yet, for future experiments a local 85 Kr monitoring station is desirable to reduce this large systematic uncertainty.…”

In this paper, we describe the XENON100 data analyses used to assess the target-intrinsic background sources radon ( 222 Rn), thoron ( 220 Rn) and krypton ( 85 Kr). We detail the event selections of high-energy alpha particles and decay-specific delayed coincidences. We derive distributions of the individual radionuclides inside the detector and quantify their abundances during the main three science runs of the experiment over a period of ∼ 4 years, from January 2010 to January 2014. We compare our results to external measurements of radon emanation and krypton concentrations where we find good agreement. We report an observed reduction in concentrations of radon daughters that we attribute to the plating-out of charged ions on the negatively biased cathode.
