“…In literature, papers focused on Rn monitoring only use commercial devices for their purposes, without worrying about simulations [13,14]; while papers focused on investigation of new Rn measurement systems only deal with the realization and the testing of them without handling the simulation [15][16][17]. Within the research framework of simulation of Rn detection systems, in particular those based on electrostatic collection, very few studies are published, e.g., a low-cost monitor for the thoron [18,19] and radon [20] measurement was designed.…”

Using Monte Carlo (with Geant4) and COMSOL simulations, the authors have defined a useful tool to reproduce the alpha spectroscopy of 222Rn, 220Rn and their ionized daughters by measurement systems based on electrostatic collection on a silicon detector, inside a metallic chamber. Several applications have been performed: (i) simulating commercial devices worldwide used, and comparing them with experimental theoretical results; (ii) studying of realization of new measurement systems through investigation of the detection efficiency versus different chamber geometries. New considerations and steps forward have been drawn. The present work is a novelty in the literature concerning this research framework.
