Development of an energy discriminate CR-39 ® nuclear track etch dosimeter for Radon-220 gas measurements

An energy discriminate CR-39 ® nuclear track etch dosimeter for use in a 220Rn and 222Rn gas monitor has been developed and experimentally assessed. It utilises a thin film of Mylar ® C to attenuate the alpha particle energies to allow only the damage tracks created by the 8.785 MeV alpha particles...
