Abstract:
To overcome the time-resolution limitation inherent in the airflow-through scintillation cell method for radon measurement, this study introduces a compartmental model elucidating the behaviors of radon and its progeny within such cells. The computed results of the normalized equilibrium functions derived from the compartmental model, provide quantitative insights into the equilibrium progression of 222Rn and its progeny over time, substantiating the identified time-resolution limitation of 2-3 hours. Laboratory experiments confirm the efficacy of the proposed correction algorithm, showcasing its ability to surmount the time-resolution limitation and achieve a rapid response in radon measurement using airflow-through scintillation cells.
