beta activity, radiometer, Radon-222, multi-channel time analyzerAbstract
The paper shows the possibility of determining of the radon by the radiometer on a base of multi-channel time analyzer of beta – decay products of radon. The radiometer consist of an electrostatic aerosol collector combined with the air intake, Geiger-Muller counter for detection of beta particles and multi-channel time analyzer. Accumulation time of aerosol sample takes up to 20 min, the time data processing is done by the radiometer about 5 hours. The data processing is at off-line mode using the computer decomposition process of decay spectrum.
